Vidalia’s Baked Onion With Ham

Standing as we do in a position which makes us choice targets for the devil and his allies, our best course is to defend our innocence by our silence and leave our reputation with God. Yet there are exceptions to this general rule. When distinct, definite, public charges are made against a man he is bound to answer them, and answer them in the clearest and most open manner. To decline all investigation is in such a case practically to plead guilty, and whatever may be the mode of putting it, the general public ordinarily regard a refusal to reply as a proof of guilt. Under mere worry and annoyance it is by far the best to be altogether passive, but when the matter assumes more serious proportions, and our accuser defies us to a defense, we are bound to meet his charges with honest statements of fact.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Peel onion skin in 1/4-inch strips  from
the flower end back to root end of onion leaving intact at root.  Place
1/4 of each of the first five ingredients in the center of each  piece
of foil. Place onion on top in center of foil with the root end  facing
up. Pull the strips of skin up and draw the foil from the four  corners
to the center like a pyramid. Lightly crimp the foil around  the "neck"
of the onion with skins pulled straight up. Pour veal  glaze and
vinegar into the foil. Bake in oven for about one hour and  10 min. or
until soft. Remove onion from foil and place onto serving  plates.
Reserve the juices. Heat a medium saute pan. Add 2 Tbsp.  butter,
Shiitake mushrooms and country ham. Saute until mushrooms  soften. Add
the reserved juice from the baked onions, tomato, capers,  and chives.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
