- 1 teaspoon table salt

directions
- In a 8-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 35 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add sugar and cook, stirring often to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, 35-40 minutes. Lower the heat if the bottom of the pot begins to scorch.
- When done, onions should be deep golden brown and have a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat, season with salt. Let cool completely before packaging in an airtight container.
