Red Beets

[Shotgun Wedding]

We did our full row of red beets yesterday. The variety we have grown for a few years are Merlin, a nice Detroit style, 55 days maturity.

Ended up with about a 5 gal pail of beets,



Which with some vinegar, sugar, water and some spices, ended up with 9 1 Litre jars of pickled beets. Now we won't starve this winter!!!

I love beets. Cooked or pickled. Your jars look like a feast to me.

Buttered beet's in a sauce pan! Making me hungry..

Ooh, good eating!
Gonna have to plant a few beets next year. Always enjoyed them fresh.

Aren't those used for tire ballast?

Does make you wonder what "that" beet juice taste like?

Aren't those used for tire ballast?

Kind of starting to look like they are used for ballast on me too.
