Caramelized onion is great on its own, where the caramelization (that means browning) brings out a sweetness that goes great everywhere and on nearly everything. (Maybe not on a salad… but we could make it work!) But we've done some interesting level ups here, adding sweet apple (in cider and butter form), pungent mustard, and rich butter. A bit better onion on your pork chop? We're adding this to our baskets right now.
