I have a bunch of small onions ( golf ball size before peeling).
Definitely enough to use in a stew or some other dish that you can use a whole baby onion in.
I don't feel like using them now, but maybe in the fall. So Im hoping I can peel them ,freeze them, then when I plan on using them , just dumped them in the stew. I just want to make sure this can be done successfully.
The story behind this is, when planning my garden, I ordered 4 different varieties of onions. Each variety comes in a set of about 60 plants. I did not have the room to plant 240 onions. I planted as many ( and probably a lot more) as I had room for, and left with many extra. I was weeks ahead of my friends in starting my garden, so I couldn't even give them away.
I decided to plant them side by side on a pot ( with little room for the bulb to grow), and just use the greens in place of scallions. But at this point in the season, the greens are dying off and Im left with dozens of golf ball sized onions.
So, back to my question, can i peel them, freeze them, and then use them at a later date successfully?
