From Microwave Entertaining. Be wary of cooking times for your microwave, this is a rather old cook book, and I believe the wattages have gone up from the time it was published. My suggestion is if you have a newer microwave to only microwave for one minute the first time, adding +30 on until its hot or syrupy, three the second, then one , adding +30 until tender :) unless you have an old low wattage microwave like me! Please note, the recipe calls for green onions/scallions, other large onions are not an do-able substitution.

Ingredients

Instructions

Peel lemon, spiraling down from top to bottom - producing one long wide peel.
Cut peel lengthwise into quarters to get 6 long, thin strips; set aside.
Squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Remove tips and ends of green onions and peel the outer layer.
Divide the onions into 6 bunches, tying each with a strip of lemon peel.
Arrange the bunches of onions in a 3 quart rectangle shaped microwave-safe dish.
In a 1 cup microwave safe dish, combine lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and salt.
Cook on high 2-3 minutes or until hot and syrupy; pour over onions.
Cover onions with plastic wrap.
Turn back one side.
Cook on high 3 minutes.
Rearrange onions.
Cook another 2-3 minutes or more until tender.
Let stand 2 minutes.
