Directions

• Place onions in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; cook until onions are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; slip off skins.
• Melt butter and sugar in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in water and skinned onions. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to color, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the almonds into the skillet. Cook and stir until onions are golden and almonds are lightly toasted, 4 to 5 additional minutes.
