Grilled Onions with Balsamic Vinegar and Brown Sugar

Grilled onions are the sweet cousin of the bad boy, make you cry raw onions.  Grilled onions still have an edge (as your breath will attest to), but grilled onions are sugary enough to make their way into a cupcake.  Sometimes, however, sweet things can be made even more appealing.

See what I mean?  Well, for grilled onions, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar do the trick.
