How to make it

  • Hey! I know this may sound strange...
  • I love onions and I get them from others sometimes in large amounts.
  • I need to keep them fresh and I do that by dropping and onion into a leg and tying a knot, then another onion, and a knot.
  • You get the idea.
  • Then I hang them up, yes by the crouch, lol!
  • When I need an onion I cut one or two out, try to keep the sides even.
  • They do not spoil this way because air is all around them and them are not touching.
  • This is the concept of braiding the ends together but into days age we do not get the ends at the store.
  • My Grandma taught me this little trick....
  • Hanging in the basement is best, but in my case the kitchen and hall way will have to do!!!!
  • When i was in my 20's I sent this idea into Mother Earth News and they printed it.
  • I got a free year of the magazine for the idea!
  • I was so excited!!!!
