These onions are great - I did them in the oven,foil wrapped 350F for 20 minutes opened up for10 more minutes (Iremoved 2 from the foil for the picture).They were cooked and piping hot but still had a crunch to them - perfect. I used Brown sugar substitute. Loved the mustard, butter & hot sauce. They look lovely and they are ever so tasty thanks Doris for a keeper
