Note: Influenza A virus subtype A great source for canning information is the Blue Book Pb to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books every bit good every bit equipment I discovery useful.

My thoughts:

Whenever I swallow beets I intend of Ellen Tebbits pulling that weed inward the sidewalk every bit good every bit ending upward amongst a beet. I know it is a somewhat unorthodox choice merely Beverly Cleary books are my all 4th dimension favorite bits of food writing. Who tin sack forget the bang-up of the raw egg over Ramona's caput at luncheon or the eating of natural linguistic communication disguised every flake steak when Ramona's dad was out of work? Or Ramona eating entirely 1 seize amongst teeth out of all the apples because the starting fourth dimension seize amongst teeth was e'er the best? Ellen Tebbits entirely wanted to pick out that beet to show-and-tell. So many writers forget to include the everydayness of food merely Beverly Cleary never did.

I don't intend I had e'er level had a beet when starting fourth dimension I read Ellen Tebbits merely it made such an impression. I ambit dear beets like a shot every bit good every bit thence if I dug upward a giant beet, I'd terminal quite pleased every bit good every bit maybe pickle it. I've made savory beet pickles before every bit good every bit they were very, truly good. This 4th dimension I tweaked the flavors a fleck every bit good every bit used some reddish wine vinegar, which I had flora inward the proper concentration every bit good every bit inward large bottles over the wintertime every bit good every bit stored every bit good every bit thence I tried that out. I also decided to operate the beet cooking H2O instead of entirely manifestly water.


I wasn't planning to build pickles this calendar calendar week merely I needed some pickled beets for a recipe I was developing every bit good every bit when I went to the store, I saw that fresh beets were lone 89 cents a pound! It is a fleck early for local beets merely at that topographic betoken they were. So I sentiment I'd entirely pickle them myself versus buying a jar. More spell of labor merely a fleck cheaper every bit good every bit a lot more than tasty. They came out wonderfully every bit good every bit like a shot desire I had bought more than beets.

I know most pickled beets are a sweetness every bit good every bit sour affair merely I flora I truly like them when treated every flake entirely straight, savory pickles. The beets are sweetness enough on their own, I don't intend they inquire extra sugar.
