onions

i recently ran out of my supply of dryed onion, so i thought i'd share how i make them :)
couldn't be simpler, just cut up a few of the large yellow (or whatever kind you like) onions in slices. the thiner the slice the less time it takes. place them on the dehydrator trays and turn it on! it takes mine about 2 days to finish. (dont forget to rotate the trays!) you want the onions to be brittle before you take them out. if you do apples you want them to be bendy.

they will be all shrivled up and yellow brown in color when done. then i just break or crush them up in my hand and put them in a jar and they keep for a long time! my last jar lasted almost a year before i ran out! i dont use a ton of onion in my cooking though. i do find though that just a little of these falkes will add a lot of flavor and not be to oniony. 

thats the finished product :) they realy dont take up much space! that jar in the picture is holding 4 large onions! a tip too, for getting that nasty smell off your hands is to wash after cutting them up with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide mixed with dawn dish soap! this is also suposed to get the skunk smell out of say your dog or whatever happens to unfortunatly meet one!
