When you caramelize onions, do you leave the lid on the saucepan or take it completely off?

    Off, or they boil in the condensation created and don't carmelize as nicely.

    How do you make the pierogies or do you buy them already made? This sounds yummy!

    Depends on how you camelize then some people use lots of butter or and plus sugar or ect so it depends on the recipe to determine calories (I do mine by using alittle EVOO and Onion so the cals are pretty low. )
