Great Great Aunt Jessie's 1940's Grilled Onion Halves

1. 1

   Peel and parboil onions until just underdone.

2. 2

   If you like even a milder oniony flavor then bequeathed to them by nature, change the water about twice during their parboiling period (I didn't find this necessary at all).

3. 3

   Drain, and when cool enough to handle cut in halves.

4. 4

   Just before they are served, sprinkle sugar very lightly over the cut side.

5. 5

   Season with salt and pepper and either dot of brush lightly with melted butter.

6. 6

   Place under broiler until they're nicely browned on top, adding more butter if necessary.
