Notes

Use a good balsamic vinegar from Modena, not the commercial one
Simmer the onions at medium heat to make sure they don't burn
Turn then regularly
They will keep for 3 to 4 days
You can serve them warm or at room temperature but not straight from the fridge
If you are cooking the onion at very low heat, it may take longer than 20 minutes. Taste them to make sure they are properly cooked and caramelized
