I wish I had known that trick about boiling the pearl onions in water and then slipping off the skins! I spent so much time peeling a pound of them one Thanksgiving morning.. SO time consuming on such a busy cooking day! haha! I will definitely use the boiling method next time.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-6641963561672777282012-03-04T01:11:50.066-05:002012-03-04T01:11:50.066-05:00That's such a great tip for the onions.
