The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This worked great! Tip: turn the slow cooker to high heat after about 4-5 hours and the onions will brown a bit as well.

I love caramelized onions! This way takes a long time but it gets them pretty tender. Add a pinch of salt to it while it cooks.
