I got this recipe, although it's a rather loose one from another diabetic
years ago. She added Splenda to hers but I find that I like it much better
without. I too use Simply Heinz. The caramelized onions are so very sweet
that you don't need to add much more sweetness. You could probably leave out
the molasses and brown sugar but I like the flavor of them so add just a wee
bit. I didn't used to put the raw onion in but dang, I love's me some onions
so I tried this the last time and it made things even better. I do put quite
a lot of ketchup in this because it cooks for so long, you need plenty of
liquid. You could easily use tomato sauce or puree to make up the liquid. I
have done that as well.
