Friday was a beautiful day for us. While my grandson played in the backyard, I stood at the patio table and chopped red onions. I had approximately 12 pounds worth. I set up the dehydrator on the back patio and let them dry.
When it was all said and done I had filled all but 2 trays.
It is hard to tell from the photos, but the yield was just over 7 cups.
I’ve vaccum sealed all but about 1/2 of quart jar.
The jar went into the cabinet to be used now.
A year or so ago I bought a large container of dried onion from Sam’s Club.
Even with me buying additional onions throughout the year and onion powder, my container is almost empty.
I love red onions more than any other so I thought I would try drying my own.
They’re quick to rehydrate if I want them to use them in low liquid dishes, but if I am adding them to soups/stews or things like that I don’t even bother rehydrating first.

Due to a large volume of spamming I’ve had to undo the “anyone” can comment feature. Hoping this lets all of us not have to wade through the hoopla.
