Green Onion ~ Dehydrated and Ground

 Snow is predicted Sunday/Monday.  Nothing new.  It has snowed in October here.  I took one last look at the herb garden, before it rests for the winter.  

I dehydrated more green onions, and froze a bit more.  The dehydrated ones were left whole to dehydrate, then I store them in a canning jar.  I do this with chives as well.  I mostly use the frozen ones for baked egg dishes.



I use a small vacuum that works for regular and wide mouth jars.  So far, it's worked great, and I've had it for a few years now.




I love to make ground vegetables, in cases where I have a larger harvest of something.  It adds flavor to any dish.  I ground some of the dehydrated green onions, and filled a repurposed spice jar.

I had to keep adding the dehydrated green onions to the grinder, as they are so light, it helps the process of grinding it all down to a powder.

A "first" for us this year.  I think it would be great on homemade crackers, and just about anything else.

One year I ground green bell peppers.  It worked nicely, but would only make it when we have a huge harvest.  I only used it for one baked casserole dish.  It might be good for soups and stews.

I love to make, what we call "fire powder" by dehydrated a mix of hot peppers.  Our hot pepper harvest was not that good this year.


I love the jalapeno salt I made, and will continue to keep it next to the salt and pepper.  I use this one a lot.


I brought in more thyme and sage from the herb garden. I forgot to get photos, but I think I will work on keeping more fresh herbs indoors this winter.
