Thanks for the recipe. http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/2010/11/13/preserving-beet-pickles#c175 Sat, 13 Nov 2010 16:12:32 +0000 kimberly [Member] c82@http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/ Beets are very delicious fried in a little bit of olive or coconut oil. I cut off root and stems and peel; then just slice as thin or thick as you desire. http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/2010/11/13/preserving-beet-pickles#c82 Sat, 13 Nov 2010 13:27:26 +0000 Erika [Visitor] c81@http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/ Hi Secretcorners Thanks for the beet pickle recipe.I have bookmarked it for now. Thanks for the warning about leaving the roots and top on. I have seen washed out looking beets too. Didn’t know why though. Thanks. PS: I usually put my beets into my juicer. Nothing better then Beet, Carrot,celery,strawberry,swiss chard and any other vegetable you can think of into this juice. Even my 2and a half year old grandson. Wonders never cease. http://kitchen.secretcorners.net/2010/11/13/preserving-beet-pickles#c81
