The "Pickled Beets with Red Wine" appear to have turned out fine. I
only had 4 1/2 pounds of beets so I have some syrup left. Wonder what
else it might go well with.

The "Rhubarb-Orange Jelly" also turned out well. The rhubarb juice
was a nice rose color. The Valencia orange juice was a beautiful
orange, not the light color I so often fine. It also appears to have
set.

I am going to modify the recipe and will post it soon.
