FREEZING ONIONS

    Bulb onions store well in a cool,  dry place.  Freezing

is
usually not recommended since onions change  flavor  when

frozen.
                                                    

    Preparation:   Chose  mature  bulbs  and clean  as  for

eating.
  Water blanch for 3 to 7 minutes or until center is

heated.
  Cool promptly, drain and package, leaving 1/2-inch

headspace.
                                                 

    Seal, label and freeze.  These are suitable for cooking

only.
