Can you maybe dehydrate onions? Alton Brown on the Food Channel does that but JRFr says that dried foods don’t keep really well (I assume that that is in TX. I’m in TN and it’s really wet here but we’ve done well with dried foods here this year.)

Actually, it depends on how you package them and where you are. For Marcella, near the coast, with high average humidity, they won't keep for years. They will keep fine for 6 months to get you through to the next season though.

I use most of what I dehydrate within about 3-4 months, as a matter of normal life.

We have dehydrated onions succesfully, and made onion powder out of them. The rest of our onions we just put in one layer in a card board box in the basement.

I dry onions. I just found some that I dehydrated in 2006 and they are just as divine as the day I packed them.
Plus dehydrating them, you can fit a bushel of onions into a quart jar. Just don’t start nibbling a jar of dried onion rings when you are drinking beer or you may end up in the hospital.
