.. . . for Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks. Gack!

I bought the ones I bought and then almost bought a couple bunches of
orange-color b**ts and then decided there's no point in throwing good
money after bad.

There's a recipe in the big Ball book that doesn't look any worse than
the other two I've tried. I might try that one; will see what SETP
offers, too.

What's the predominant flavor in them? Sweet-sour? Cinnamon? IMWTK.

OK, you've got my inquisitive nature piqued.

I've tried GIYF, but it's not. It just came up with the Forum posts and no
recipe.

Is it something to do with beetroot??

drink, though."

How many bushels? Will you be using any for Barb's Beety Beauty?

This is a most admirable undertaking, but one better suited for late
autumn/early winter, because that is when best quality beetroots are
available.

Sweet 'n' sour. Cinnamon may be a component, but should not dominate.
A good marinade might include water, vinegar, maybe some sugar,
peppercorns, allspice berries, cinnamon, and cloves. If you need a
formal recipe, I can provide it.

And there is absolutely no taste or smell of dirt in good beetroots.
Someone must have been cruelly abusing you in your deprived and depraved
youth by feeding you dirt under the guise of beetroots, I'm sure. Poor
Queenie. At least you have become a true dirt connaisseuse.
