Let me start by telling you that the best way to eat a Walla Walla Sweet Onion is to take it out of the box I just sent you, wash it off, slice it up and serve it with your favorite dish right away! Once you have finished enjoying the world famous taste of the Walla Walla Sweet Onion, you can prepare the rest for storage.
The great thing about Walla Walla Sweet's is that they store longer and taste fresher than most vegetables, even though they are up to 90% water. In fact, the Walla Walla Sweet Onion will still taste great up to 2 weeks when stored properly.
Dry Storage:
* First - start by choosing only the most mature, and firm Walla Walla Sweet Onions to store. Enjoy the softer onions right away with your favorite recipe.
* Second - Never wash the onions you choose to store. Walla Walla Sweet Onions store best under dry, dark, cool conditions.
* Third - Get new (unused) sheer pantyhose (I know it sounds crazy but believe me this works!) and drop an onion into the foot. Tie a knot and repeat this all the way to the top. Leave enough room to attach a string to hang in your pantry.
* Finally, you can hang your Walla Walla Sweet Onions in your pantry or anywhere that is convenient. Try to keep the onions stored in a dry location at room temperature. If you have any sory of vegtable storage that is temperature controlled, this is the best option.
Now every time you need a fresh Walla Walla Sweet Onion, you can simply cut right below the knot of each onion, prepare, and serve up in your favorite salad, salsa or any other recipe you enjoy.
Freezing Storage:
Most people will finish their onions before they can even think about freezing them, but if you keep some Walla Walla Sweet Onions for a little longer than expected, and they start to sprout, here is a good way to salvage them.
* First - you can use the sprouts as a substitute for scallions.
* Second - you should wash and peel what is left of the onion.
* Third - puree the onions in a blender.
* Fourth - fill up your tupperware containers and freeze.
Frozen Walla Walla Sweets like these are perfect additions to any soup, salad, salsa. or any of your favorite recipes.
