Wonderful and the time for my very large onion was spot-on. My DH even commented how good it was and an was surprised it was made in the 1100w micro. I added about 3/4 tsp brownulated sugar. I am saving the juice for an another use. Major thanks.

Excellent and easy! Used a locally grown sweet onion that was so large it needed an extra min in the microwave... very tasty! Will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks for posting...
