Canning Onions???HELP???

[ABHanna4d]

I have a ton of small onions that I would love to can, but I just dont have a recipe that is ONLY for onions!
I found a recipe for peppers that is with vinegar, salt, and garlic (pretty basic) and I would love to do something like that with my onions, but I just dont know what recipe to follow!
Anyone have any advice!!??
Thank you!

Are they little pearl onions or just regular onions that didn't make it to a good size? I've never canned onions just by themselves, but I imagine they'd need pressure canned, unless you're pickling them. If you are just looking to use them up, maybe do up some salsa? Salsa takes a lot of onion.

They are little pearl onions and so cute I've already done salsa and would love to have these cute little onions for some "appetizer onions".

Here's one that sounds good to me. I love anything with a touch of horseradish to it...

And this one, it's a little fancier...

Or this one, basic, but had good clear info on how to do it...

I've got a bunch of Egyptian walking onions that would be good for this, but not nearly enough to do a whole batch. That's a lot of onions it calls for!

Don't forget- onions freeze great....

My freezer is cram packed right now...I even did my first try at canning spinach because I didnt have room for it in the freezer. I was a little nervous because Ive heard "greens" are the most "dangerous" to can, but I sanitized everything very well and followed all the steps exactly so it should be fine.
