This weekend we harvested all of our beets. When I pulled them out of the ground they didn't look as red as usual so I wondered if perhaps we left them in the ground too long. After cutting the greens of and the ends if found that the inside was more white and pink than red---weird. They cooked up just find and are very tasty--maybe a little sweeter than the normal red beets I'm use to.
I used most of them to make pickled beets. They turned out beautiful with a red/pink color that looks very pretty in the jar and taste a little more mild than last years red beets.
I used the rest in a great big pot of Borscht which we'll have for dinner tonight. I need to find out what seeds Kevin planted so we can plant them next year.
