Cider-Glazed Pearl Onions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes or until soft. Add cider, vinegar and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and onions are evenly coated. Add sea salt and pepper; reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes or until liquid has reduced to a glaze. Add thyme and stir. Sprinkle with additional sea salt, if desired, and serve warm.

How to peel pearl onions: Drop the unpeeled onions in boiling water for about 20 seconds; drain them and dump them into a cold-water bath. When they're cool enough to pick up, trim the root end of each onion with a sharp paring knife, pinch the onion at the root end and gently squeeze the onion toward the stem end. The onion should pop out of its skin.
