We went Christmas shopping the other day before the world and the wife descend on the shops.
Remember back in September when I posted a blog about us slicing and chopping our organic home grown onion bags an placing them in small freezer bags and putting them in the freezer?
Well we noticed now Dunnes Stores are doing the same and selling them for a Euro.
We made a chilli last night and took a bag of our readily frozen chopped and sliced onions and placed them in the pan.
We are getting like M &S with our ready washed and chopped veg.
Do you freeze your home grown onions and vegetables?
We can buy frozen chopped onions here too. I bet they cost more than a euro though. Strange thing to find here. You really have started a new trend. I wonder if they'll have brussel sprouts at xmas
ReplyDeleteYes when I have excess, we have broad and runner beans with our tea tonight, Marlene, Poppypatchwork
ReplyDeleteYes Linda I was suprised to see frozen chopped onions for sale. We have half a chest freezer full of our homegrown organic onions. We have Brussels ready to be frozen but our freezer is full of one of our pigs from our smallholding.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Marlene. They still taste fresh months after you have picked and frozen them. Just hope we don't have power outages this winter.
ReplyDeletePeople can get very sniffy about frozen vegetables, but if they're frozen immediately after harvesting, I see nothing wrong with them. Frozen vegetables are very useful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jabblog. Especially if you grow them yourself and freeze them. Especially if you get a glut like we did this year with our tomatoes and onions.
ReplyDeleteWe have homegrown raspberries, brambles, runner beans and apple (sauce) in our freezer. You should sue Dunnes for stealing your onion idea.
