Caramelized Sweet Onions – in a slow cooker

Peel the onions and cut them into thin slices. You want about 6 cups. You can slice up lots more, using as many onions as you want to use up.

Brush a little olive oil on the inside of your slow cooker and then add the onions. Pour the remaining olive oil over the onions, cover and cook on high 10-12 hours or until they turn deep brown. You can stir occasionally, but remember that will lengthen the cooking time a little. Refrigerate your caramelized onions for about a week, or freeze them for up to 6 months.
