I accidentally burned the onions a little bit, but they still tasted good.

I didn't have any balsamic vinegar, so I used red wine vinegar instead. It worked out just fine.

The onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

Delicious! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I served them over grilled salmon and it was a perfect meal.

The recipe was easy to follow and the onions turned out great! I especially liked the addition of the orange zest. It gave the onions a really nice citrusy flavor.

These onions are amazing! I love how the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar pairs with the tartness of the cranberries. I served them as a side dish with roasted chicken, and they were a hit!

I used red onions instead of cipollini because that's what I had on hand, and they turned out great! The flavor was slightly different, but still delicious. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

I have been looking for a good way to cook cipollini onions for a while now, and this recipe did not disappoint! The onions were tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness and tanginess. My family loved them!
