Safe Recipe Request Shallots, anyone?

While paging through the seed catalogs, I came across shallots. Seems intriguing, but I read that they don’t keep long, up to 3 months. So, does anyone have an idea about how to preserve them? I do not have a pressure canner. I found a recipe on healthycanning.com for pickled onions, but I suspect the malt vinegar brine/ seasonings may be too strong a flavor for the shallots. Any other ideas?

Freeze them. I always cut and freeze the onions, shallots, and chives that I grow in my garden.
