I played a bit with purple onion skins but they come out kind of a dull
bluish color without much pattern. Nowhere near as intense.

I've thought about trying shallot hulls if I can collect enough from the
bin at the grocery store. They never have minded me "cleaning" skins
from the bins at the store. Saves them the work. <g>

Plus, I put them in a bag and put them on the produce scale and stick a
price tag on them. A bag of them will cost me maybe 5 cents. I'm sure
they'd let me have them for free, but sometimes the produce guys get
involved and help me with the cleaning. :-)

They know me on site as I've been shopping there for many years.
