The colder the onions are, the less fumes they have. Think of gas (like for your car or mower). The warmer it is, the more fumes it has. Put them in the fridge or freezer for a little while and only take a few out at a time so they don’t have time to warm up.

If I had been in the room I wouldn't be able to open my eyes for days. My eyes would be swollen, my face covered in tears & I would be blind & on fire. My Mom loved to cook with onions & they never seemed to bother her. She was a wonderful cook & loved by everyone. Nothing would be planned but if you stopped by Mom's place she would run to the kitchen & whip up a miraculous meal in 15 min. It happened often after church. Dad died at 57 so she was alone for 38 years. Mom was alone so if you stopped in she would cook something or had dessert to share with the three of us back then. We only had one boy for 7 years then 2 more boys within 15 mo of each other. So our oldest was her buddy for many years.

Canning about every day to catch up with the garden. Freezers are about full, dehydrated apples from the trees and lots of dried green beans. Today we are dehydrating the last of the decent apples, again and canning tomato sauce. Tomorrow will do something with okra and need to make sweet relish with some of our cucumbers.

NOT a comment about how to prevent onion tears BUT a tip to get the onion smell off your fingers when you're finished. I tried a tip I heard years ago which was to dip and rinse your fingers in milk when you're done, THEN rinse them with water and there's literally no smell. If you forget and use water first it doesn't work. I have no idea why this works it just does. I've used this for years now and as long as I remember to pour a bit of milk into a container to use it works every time. Enjoy every bit of that precious onion marmalade, you certainly deserve it. 🙂

What I did with last years onions was dice up a bunch, then divide up into 1 cup increments. I put 1 cup in a zip lock sandwich bag, then placed several sandwich bags of onions into a a large gallon size zip lock freezer bag. This worked out great as most recipes I make call for a medium onion diced, which is about one cup. Last year I planted onion sets from tractor supply and many went to seed before getting large enough to harvest. These ones I processed since they wouldn’t store. This year I purchased onion starts from Dixondale Farms. I was well pleased with how they did. Much larger bulbs than the sets and way fewer ones went to seed.

Regarding red onions, you are not alone. We grow red onions every year in South West UK (Red Baron). They are delicious, especially roasted but, unlike the brown and the white varieties, they really don't dry and store well: not in our experience, anyway. We eat the reds fresh, straight from the onion bed and dry the brown skinned varieties for Winter storage. For this reason, we only plant about 50 red onion sets each Spring and eat them from June to September. I don't even bother to try drying those, anymore. P.S. Tyler's recorder is thing of beauty; beautifully turned and finished. That young man has talent.

Tip: to help prevent crying when chopping onions, breathe through your mouth. You can ALSO cut them under water that works too. Tip #2: To get the smell of onions, garlic or fish off your hands, rub them on something made of stainless steel.

I use my food processors slicing blade and move through cutting onions very quickly that way. I'm slow on the cutting board. It doesn't stop tears, but I go through five pounds in just a few minutes when I'm making French onion soup. How I caramelize onions (Cooks Illustrated way): butter in the Dutch oven, fill with sliced onions and lightly salt, put the lid all the way on and bake at 400 for an hour. Stir, put the lid back on ajar and continue cooking, stirring every 30 minutes or so until you like the way they look. After 1.5 hours I'm generally happy and it was less stressful than keeping an eye on the stovetop.

Tip: When cutting onions get a candle started burning on each side of you before you start cutting them. Sounds dumb but it REALLY does work! :)
