LOL<br /><br />Unfortunately, my freezer is switched off, as we don't have the spare solar power / battery storage to run it as well as our fridge 24 / 7 / 365. I miss it terribly, and therefore my only option with excess harvest is to dehydrate or can. I've tried dehydrating swiss chard, but with no luck so far...Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-40858300908946967702013-02-28T12:46:03.736+02:002013-02-28T12:46:03.736+02:00Emma - welcome, and thank you for taking the time ...Emma - welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :)<br /><br />Now, you know, I've never thought about, never mind eaten, a roast onion tart...!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-58821139531852123142013-02-28T12:00:58.426+02:002013-02-28T12:00:58.426+02:00I agree with Kris about chopping and dehydrating -...I agree with Kris about chopping and dehydrating - I use dehydrated onions quite often. Also, chopped and frozen onions (quick-frozen on cookie sheets to keep them from clumping together, then double-bagged or put in jars for odor-free storage in the freezer). I wonder how long that massive onion will last you?Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-66136287004365240352013-02-28T12:00:09.887+02:002013-02-28T12:00:09.887+02:00What a 'whopper' !

Dried onion bits are really nice in soups, stews, casseroles, etc. They store well and last till next season.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.com
