Backyard Buddies, I find the same things. It does take a long time to caramelize the onions, but yes, it's definitely worth it!
Yes, I used more onions, 8, and it was a nice amount, but onion size has a lot to do with it. These were not jumbo, so I probably used what you plan to next time.
Thank you, and I hope that whatever surprises you find for dinner are delicious!
Aneesasmuse, in both of our defenses, it's hard to do better than, "to taste" with a lot of ingredients. Not just because people like different amounts of salt, pepper etc., but also because the other ingredients in the dish will be saltier, sweeter, or more bland, depending. Besides, it's a lot more fun to throw in a little of this, and a little of that. with a flourish, than drag out the measuring spoons!
I didn't know my great-grandparents, but did stand at both of my grandmother's elbows, as well.
Tuffoldhen, our meals are surprisingly similar! I even forgot that there was whipped cream and ice cream for the cobbler!
It sounds wonderful! We usually have peach for the 4th, and thinking about it, it's probably because the berries, like blackberries and raspberries won't be ripe for weeks yet here! Enjoy a piece of that raspberry cobbler for me!!
