Italian Sweet & Sour Onions

This dish may be served hot as a veggies side dish or cold on a buffet table. I like to use Boiler onions they are apprx1 1/2" across and incrase the cooking time but not by much - try to leave the onions with a bit of crunch

3. Remove onions from the pan and add the vinegar& sugar, stir and cook for apprx 5 minutes.
4. Return the onions to the pan, stir to coat and finish cooking for 2 minute add walnuts& raisins (if using) Serve hot or cold.
