Roasted Red Onions with Butter, Honey, and Balsamic Vinegar

This dish goes wonderfully with the Roast Prime Rib of Beef with Horseradish Crust.  I wasn't actually too sure how this dish would turn out.  I was very skeptical about it.  But in the end I'm glad I made them.  The onions turned out quite tasty!

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup honey

1/2 bunch fresh thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 red onions, halved

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.
