are almost in season. Some places are taking orders for May shipment.

I just ordered mine. Sam's Club variety isn't bad, but, I have mine sent in from Georgia.

I live in Savannah, GA and I've been stalking our produce sections, but not yet!

Love my Vidalias!

Do you ever bake them with a beef buillion cube and butter? TO DIE FOR! LOL!

[SharkE]

Think they're shipped first week of May. I get mine from Morris Farms.

Quality could be better, but, they're the cheapest in regards to shp costs.

I get 20 lb bag.

I looked at another farm , but, they wanted 40 bucks just to ship to Tx.

I'll just have to do without for that. So, went back to Morris where the shp is included in the 20lb bag price They last me long time and in the meantime I get some small bags from Sam's.

Any tips on long term storage for those of us here in the cold, cold North?

Last year I ran into some guys from a local Veterans group that makes a run to GA and brings them up for sale locally. Proceeds benefit their disabled Vets.

Gladly @Imaoldhippie!

These work great on the grill or in the oven!

You can also use a low sodium bouillon  if you choose/need to and you can use a cube or a tablespoon of a paste type bouillon.

Peel the onion, trim off the top and end portion. Use an apple corer and core the onion, trying not to go all the way through the onion.

If you do go all the way though when coring, no biggie since you'll be wrapping it in foil, which will hold the bullion & butter in.

After coring, place 1 tablespoon of butter/margarine and 1 bouillon cube or 1 tablespoon bouillon paste.

Place on foil squares large enough the wrap foil around onion and twist top.

Oven - 350 about 45 min. depending on size. (press foil to see if soft)

Grill - close to hot coals 45 min. turning often till soft.

Soooo good, like french onion soup!

You'll want to serve these in a bowl, due to the yummy juice or it will run all over your plate!

@KingstonsMom..................Thank you sounds so good.  I will try them as soon as I get some Vidalia's.  Thanks again.

vidalias are my favorites, but at other times during the year i also use and enjoy maui sweets, texas 1015, and oso sweets. look for them if you cannot find vidalias in the grocery stores.

if i order the vidalias they will be from pittman and davis. they have approximately 28 pounds for $45 and free standard shipping beginning the week of 5/28.

I didn't know you could order them!  How do I find out how to do that?  Maybe I can Google...

I love vidalias and we get very few here.
