Onions

Season:

Mid July- Mid December

Preparing Tips:

Use onions in soups, salads, sandwiches, stuffed, scalloped, baked, pickled, or boiled.

Storage Tips:

As a general rule sweet onions do not store as long as hot onions.

Brush the dirt off and cure in an airy place in crates or mesh bags for 2 weeks. Then store in a cool, dry place for 4- 6 months.

HOW TO FREEZE ONIONS:

Peel, wash, chop or slice onions. Wrap in aluminum foil or other wrap in amounts used most like ¼ cup or ½ cup. Place these small packages in another container. Freeze. Use within the first 3- 6 months as they tend to lose their flavor.
