Morning sunrise this morning.
It will be in the 80's (almost 90's one day) for the next 7 days here. The humidity for today is forecasted at 92%. It's too wet to work in the garden today, so I'm inside again, working on all that garden goodness I brought in recently.
Busy. Busy. Busy.
Yesterday I preserved 6 lbs of those delicious beets. 8 pints restocked now. I have about 2 more pounds to put up yet.
One
daughter was not happy to hear that "the canner pot" was coming back to
the kitchen. It's only temporary, but needs done. Either way I
preserve the beets, they are boiled, peeled and put into an ice bath
(canned or frozen) first.
Although
the recipe I use calls for "baby beets" I used the smallest of my
Cylindra beets recently picked. They sliced up in nice small circles
for canning.
I tasted these, and oh my gosh, they taste better than the last beets I canned this way. We may be planting Cylindra beets again next year. Yum!!! A bit more on the sweet side I think.
