Roasted Onions
These should be cooked in their skins; but before putting them into the oven, brush off all grittiness. Place in a moderate oven, cooking gradually until nearly done, then quicken the oven and brown. Serve with plenty of fresh butter.

(I have made this before and it is yummy! I cooked them in a 350F oven until they were fork-tender. Then, I turned the broiler on to brown them. Watch it very carefully so you don't burn your tasty onions! I also seasoned them with salt and pepper to taste.)
I had a great crop of onions in the garden this year. Good recipe!
