I have a friend whose husband bought 175# of apples and she doesn't have time to spend the week canning. Just wondering… does the “wrapping in newspaper” thing work for apples too?

We have some gleaned onions, we'll have to try the newspaper trick. We got tons (6 laundry baskets full) of gleaned potatoes we were boxing up last night. We need to find a colder spot to store everything though. Hmm.. We have some gleaned onions, we’ll have to try the newspaper trick.

I'm thinking about freezing some onion too (like Tracy does). Right now, they are just sitting in my garage, and will most likely freeze in there if I don't get to them in the next couple of days.

Then I take them all and put them in ziploc freezer bags. Then when a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of diced onion, there you go. :) It is great for when I need to throw a meal together fast.
