Onions, Coloured, for Soup Flavouring

Put into an oven half a dozen large onions on a tin dish, with equal quantities of butter and sugar (previously well mixed together) on the top of each. As the mixture dissolves, baste the onions frequently with it; they must not get dry, but they should be black through, yet not burnt. A slow oven is required. For imparting a flavour and colour to soups black onions are very valuable. Probable cost, 1 1/2d. per pound.
