Rubies and Pearls

This recipe is rated : 0

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds pearl onions
Boiling water to cover
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cranberries
1/2 cup chicken broth

Cooking Procedures

The dish should be baked just before serving it. It will look and taste best if it is prepared for baking not more than 8 hours ahead of time. If you use an ovenproof skillet, it will save washing another pan.

Drop the onions into a pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse the onions under cold water. When they are cool enough to handle, slice off the root ends of the onions, and slip off their outer skins.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat the butter or margarine in a large skillet, preferably one with a nonstick surface, add the onions, and cook them in a single layer until they are lightly browned, turning them occasionally to prevent sticking and to brown them evenly.

Sprinkle in the sugar, salt (if desired), and pepper, and add the cranberries, tossing the ingredients to combine them. Add the broth. Transfer the mixture to a glass or ceramic baking dish, place the dish in the hot oven, and bake the onions and cranberries in the uncovered dish for about 30 minutes.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Excerpt from the wayback cook-book collection:

e careful in salting this soup. After the beans come to a boil add one small onion, and one clove. When quite done pulp the beans through a colander fine enough to retain the skins. Add more water, or some soup-liquor, if too thick. Serve over one or two hard-boiled eggs cut in quarters, and half a lemon sliced. If liked, add a tablespoonful of sherry at the last moment. The taste of this soup very much resembles that made of turtle. We have got now as far as the bean, pea, and lentil so
