Can’t wait to try this. The onions are listed twice. What is the correct amount of onions to add. Also, love that you post the nutritional info. Thanks.
1 onion.. so sorry, I fixed it. 🙂 Thank you so much!
Don’t have any molasses. Can I just substitute dark brown sugar for the light brown sugar or do I need to add more sugar?
I don’t see salt listed?
@Sharon, yeah I don’t see either. and if you don’t soak, then how much salt. If I remember correctly it should be around 1-2 teaspoons
