How to make dehydrated diced shallots (or onions)




Using your dehydrator and guidebook, dice shallots, spread it out on parchment paper lined dehydrator trays.  My guidebook states to dehydrate at 155° (same for onions).

I store mine in my freezer, as they quickly absorb moisture and when stored in the pantry do not stay crisp.  Anything from the onion family powdered will absorb moisture in the pantry as well (even in an airtight container).

To re hydrate, I do equal amounts of warm water and dehydrated shallots (same for onions), and let sit for about 20 minutes and drain.  Used as you would in any recipe.

At the same time you are making diced in the dehydrator, you can make finer diced, and grind in to powder and store the same way (in an air tight container).  

Tip:  Use a food processor to dice the shallots (or onions).

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
