"I put up 40lbs of vidalia onions like that. Dried them about 50% longer than the recommend time and they’re just like funyons.

Holy cow ... that sounds so good! I have to travel to Sam's pretty soon and will pick up a couple of big bags of onions to try that. Maybe sprinkle them with a little Tony's seasoning before I start the Excalibur.

Dried pineapple is one of my favs. That and jerky. We can't keep jerky around in a SHTF stash ... we always end up eating it. It is tough to get my granddaughters to eat their meat, yet they will devour 1/2 lb. of deer jerky in an afternoon!

The non vidalia onions aren’t sweet enough for our taste to just eat plain after they’re dried. YMMV. I’m going to have to separate mine and label them.

HOWEVER, they make an excellent ‘natural’ substitute for the french’s onion thingies that go on green bean casserole. Just dehydrate them until they’re really really crispy. cheap. with one ingredient everyone can pronounce!

We’re planning on using them to make french onion soup this winter. and put in the crock pot with soups and stews. and add to hamburger patties. and put on salads. and and and.
