- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Garlic salt
- Ground black pepper
- PAM Grilling Spray

- Cut off thin slice of bottom (root end) of sweet Vidalia or Maui or Walla Walla onions so they can stand upright. Remove outer skin and, using a grapefruit knife or melon baller remove a core almost to the bottom of the onion and about 2 inches wide.
- Spray outside of onion with PAM grilling spray and salt and pepper the outside of the onion. Place each onion on a large piece of aluminum foil and salt and pepper the inside of the cavities as well.
- Mix melted butter, bourbon, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in bowl and fill the cavities with the butter mixture. Reserve remaining butter mixture and keep warm.
