I did get the beets done while Linda was gone to Maryland. I just didn't have time to blog about it. I made a total of 28 pints of pickled beets from my 25 pound bag of beets. I even had enough beets left over to make a big pot of borscht, one of my favorite soups. Even if you don't care for pickled beets you have to admit they are very colorful. I have already begun distributing them to the various pickled beet fans in the family. I feel a little sad that the Romeros are now living too far away to be able to share home canned goods with them.
I also got some of my saurkraut canned while Linda was away. I still have about four gallons left to process. I finally managed to find some of the old fashioned jars with the rubber seals and the metal clamps. I want to try keeping some of the saurkraut in the fridge without canning. I like the taste of the fresh saurkraut and I've read that nutritionally it is supposed to be better for you fresh.

Where do you find 25 pound bags of beets?
ReplyDeleteIt was through a barter with a bee store customer. I hope to grow at least that many in our garden next year.
