I've never done horse radish before- which he likes and I have growing abundantly- but apparently it won't keep well on it's own. Apparently it will with the beets.<br /><br />Nope, never roasted beets either. I do occasionally take a bite out of one while I'm slipping off the skins- they smell good- but I don't like the flavour. I'm a pickle girl.<br /><br />Stay tuned for the yarrow post. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-48945396235128724052012-09-07T06:01:04.859-04:002012-09-07T06:01:04.859-04:00What's this blasphemy you speak of?

...The beets look great, and so do all the pickles!<br /><br />Years ago when I was a child, my mom decided to expand our kitchen appliance collection by purchasing a microwave. She figured that cooking beets in the microwave would be very much like cooking potatoes. Imagine her surprise when I asked her, "Mom, is it supposed to be on fire?" Apparently, when cooking beets in a microwave, it is best to fully remove any remaining bits of the tops, slice and submerge them in water.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05303378310653171627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-66719992028872596332012-09-06T19:10:30.450-04:002012-09-06T19:10:30.450-04:00lol I made John get me the pressure canner so my b...lol I made John get me the pressure canner so my beets would never be ruined again by pickling them.<br />Awesome bumper crops this year..looking good woman :)Cranberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949221080951907164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-26185659724904614182012-09-06T13:33:43.567-04:002012-09-06T13:33:43.567-04:00Wendy - awesome haul you got there! we love beets ...Wendy - awesome haul you got there! we love beets too! i love them pickled but i also like them fermented with daikon radish and garlic. do you ever make roasted beets? oh they are delicious! i love beet greens too - even more than spinach!<br /><br />what are you going to do with your yarrow?<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-24262378644379285842012-09-06T11:51:38.700-04:002012-09-06T11:51:38.700-04:00Yes we do like beets.
