Green Onions for Winter
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. Onion stored this way keeps very well and doesn’t lose its appearance—look at the last photo; it looks as fresh as new, doesn’t it? The whole secret is that you need to dry the onion very thoroughly after washing to remove all the water; then it won’t clump together and will stay loose and attractive. Store it in freezer containers or regular zip-lock bags. Do not thaw before use. Frozen green onion is perfect for omelets, casseroles, sauces, and soups. It looks great in baked goods, savory muffins, and bread. I add the white part of frozen onion to the sauté base for soups. Store in a cool, dark place.
