Sweet and Sour Pearl Onions With Balsamic Vinegar image

I have not made this version, but my Italian mother made a very similar dish when I a child. It was the only way I would eat onions. It was one of those things she just whipped together, and I never learned how. I hope this will duplicate my childhood memories of it. It is called Cipolline in Agrodolce in Italian.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs white pearl onions
2 cups meat stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
