Introducing the STAR of the show... Peri & Sons' Sweetie Sweet® Onions!

Sweetie Sweets® are truly nurtured and cared for – rather amazing, isn't it? They are each hand-harvested and cured at Peri & Sons Farms and available mid-July through December. Sweetie Sweet onions are also available in USDA Certified Organic. We made not just one but TWO Sweetie Sweet Recipes. So, let's get cookin'!

Sweetie's Onion Dip

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large Organic Sweetie Sweet® onions finely chopped
• 1 cup organic sour cream
• 2 ounces organic cream cheese, room temperature
• 1-1/2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
• Salt and ground pepper to taste
• Whole-grain chips, for serving

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium and add onions. Cook stirring frequently until onions are golden brown.
2. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl combine sour cream, cream cheese, vinegar and the chives. Gently stir in onions.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill dip for at least 1 hour. Serve with chips.

Caramelized Onion Filos

• 1 cup butter
• 2 yellow onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1 package of filo pastry sheets
• 12 oz of ripe camembert, divided into 6 pieces
• 6 teaspoons cranberry sauce
• Salt and pepper to season

1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F
2. Melt half the butter in a pan and cook the onions with the sugar and vinegar over a low heat for 25 minutes or until the onions have caramelized. Allow to cool.
3. Cut the filo into approximately 24 squares
4. Layer 4 sheets one on top of the other, making a half turn each time to form a star shape.
5. Brush each layer with melted butter as you work. Repeat with the remaining pastry to make 6 stars.
6. Place a piece of cheese in the centre of each pastry star and top with the onions and 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
7. Draw up the pastry to enclose the filling, pinch well to seal. Brush with melted butter and bake for 10-15 minutes.
8. Serve straight away.
