I'm looking for ways other than drying to preserve shallots and garlic.
I find that a certain percentage of my annual harvest dries up to the
point of empty paperlike husks by the following spring. Thought that by
drying some and preserving the remainder I might avoid the waste
entirely and open up some other culinary avenues as well.

So how do you do it, just put the entire bulbs in the freezer, or do you
chop them and put them up in jars of vinegar, or what?

Thanks,

J.
