Sweet Caramelized Onion Spread

Yield: 1 1/2 cups Prep Time: 20 minutes + 10 minutes cooking time

I love the sweet flavor of caramelized onions in this dip. Sugar snap peas are a good choice for dunking.

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon butter
2 medium Vidalia sweet onions, sliced
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Sauté onion in butter 8-10 minutes on medium-high heat to lightly caramelize; add garlic and cool.

2. Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend. Add salt and peppers to taste.

3. Serve with crackers or raw vegetables.
