National Days!

National Onion Day!

Caramelized Onions

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

1. Heat oven to 400°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; add bell pepper. Cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden brown. Remove from heat.

Shar's Note: I usually add a dribble of olive oil to my pan first and then add the butter after the oil is hot when using butter. I find I have a LOT less trouble with the butter over heating. Also, if you onions start to get a bit dry before done, you can add a dribble of water to help get them done without burning their edges or burning the smaller pieces.

National Cherry Popover Day!

Dried Cherry Popover

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
3 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon, granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup dried cherries

Heat oven to 375° F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 2-quart baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the eggs and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Whisk in the flour until no lumps remain. Whisk in the milk and melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and scatter the cherries over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and bake until puffed and golden, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
