I have never grown onions, this is my first year and I cheated - got onion sets from the internet. A friend tells me these will not store, even if the variety is of the kind that stores. That be a tragedy - I got carried away and planted 250 bulbs! Clearly need to be stored, somehow. Cured? Left in the ground? No idea.

Chop or dice, and freeze in freezer bags. This is a great way to have a quick, aromatic addition for many cooked dishes. You could add them to a vegetable stock and freeze in ice cube trays. Then when you need vegetable stock as a base for soup or whatever, you just pop in your veggie stock ice cubes and viola, instant flavor. You could also dry them, but I prefer freezing.
really? That is a great idea, that did not even cross my mind. The onions are huge, and there are lots of them. THANKS!
