I don't know any recipes, but when I have lots of onions, I chop them and freeze them. They freeze really well.

Dilled Onion








1 16 oz Mason Jar, with a screw lid, sterilized, filled to 1/3 with a mixture of white vinegar, and white wine vinegar.


Add two tablespoons of water.


1/2 tsp salt


3 drops dill oil -- (3 to 4)


1/8 tsp ascorbic acid(Everfresh)


1/8 tsp Citric acid


1 Clove Garlic -- Sliced


1 Habanero chile -- Sliced into rings


For James, Diane, %26amp; anyone else who wants it, here is the recipe for dilled onion, and the variations are endless, subject only to your imagination...I have added garlic, one sliced clove, habanero, one half, sliced into rings....whatever suits you. Just remember, The Discovery of a New Dish, Does More for Humankind, than the Discovery of a New Star! DILLED FRESH ONION Uses oil of dill weed, essential oil, available from drug store.





Choose an onion that will fit the jar, and slice the onion into the jar, ensuring that the onion slices are covered by the liquid. If adding garlic, or peppers, do it now, interspersing with the onion slices. DO NOT use a thick walled pepper. Let this sit in the fridge, with the lid on for at least 24 hours before using, and it will keep in the fridge about two weeks, if it lasts that long! Cheers, Doug in BC





CAUTION:


THIS IS UNCOOKED...DO NOT KEEP FOREVER!

French Onion Soup (omit the chhese and bread before canning, of course)





1/2 cup unsalted butter


4 onions, sliced


2 garlic cloves, chopped


2 bay leaves


2 fresh thyme sprigs


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


1 cup red wine, about 1/2 bottle


3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 quarts beef broth


1 baguette, sliced


1/2 pound grated Gruyere





Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.


When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.





Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
