Instructions
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onion to pan; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth.
