Sauté the onions with butter over low heat until they begin to caramelize.

After about 30 minutes, the onions should be slightly softened, but still colorless.

After about an hour and a half, the onions should be pretty well caramelized.

After about 2 hours, the onions should have a jammy consistency, be a deep golden brown color with a rich, sweet flavor.
