Add the sliced onions and salt, stirring to coat. Cook over medium heat, stirring every 3ā4 minutes, until the onions are deeply golden and jammy, about 30ā35 minutes. If the onions begin to stick or darken too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low and add a splash of water. Stir in the sugar for the final 5 minutes to encourage even caramelization.
