1 tablespoon bacon drippings
¼ cup sherry vinegar
3 medium-sized yellow onions, sliced thin
4 or 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
1. Cut the onions into thin slices. Add the bacon drippings to a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. When hot, add the onions.
2. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes, then lower the heat a little and continue cooking. After another 5 to 7 minutes, when the onions are golden brown, pour in the sherry vinegar, add the thyme, and stir well. Continue simmering the onions and vinegar until the majority of the liquid is gone, and the onions have turned to a brown, jamlike consistency. Remove from heat, pluck out the thyme sprigs with tongs, and let cool.
