Beet Juice

[Diane Amberg]

How about prune juice on your icy roads?  Maybe it would help you go faster too.  

I love good pickled beets too. I like to make pickled eggs and the beet juice gives them nice color. I'm not crazy about plain cooked carrots, but with a bit of maple syrup or brown sugar and a little butter, that's good. My favorites are in with the roast. The beef juices make them wonderful.

I make pickled eggs in hot sausage  juice .. yummy...
( The day after though, you don't have many friends that want to hang around you..)

[Diane Amberg]

That sounds good too...the first time!

Joanna, I think it would look like, well....like there had been some serious beet pickling going on in that kitchen of yours! LOL

Diane, I have two cooked carrot recipes you might like. One had a peanut butter sauce and the other has a brown sugar/orange juice glaze. Both are dee-lish!

Am I the only one that likes cooked carrots just plain with a little butter?  salt, of course.

I love pickled beets and cooked carrots.  Teresa, I'm with you on those pickled eggs.  I guess there aren't many foods I don't like.

Have you ever tried just steaming carrot rounds? Of course it is best not to cook them with salt as they can be bitter. Steaming just makes them soooo sweet, and I add butter and salt afterward. Yummy! I also like carrots cooked in the beef juice. And love pickled beets. I make them by the batch when I can find canned beets. They are just about as good as home grown, but I would not say as good. Steaming improves the flavor of lots of veggies.

I like pickled beets and pickled eggs. I think the color of the eggs in the beet juice is pretty.
It's a childhood memory. My Grandma Bertie made them and it was one of our treats when we came to visit.

I like cold carrots, sliced very thin and stored in ice water.

I also like cooked carrots - steamed with a touch of butter or
a recipe called "copper pennies" which kind of pickles them.
You can spice them up all sorts of different ways.

I'm with beets like Johnny Carsons used to be about cats. There should only one cat, and everybody could just go see it.

Frankly, I'm glad somebody finally found a use for beets. They're ugly, taste like weeds unless you pickle them after which
they taste like pickled weeds. They grow underground like rats and moles, and they smell like dirty socks.

They deserve to be driven over.

Bah.
