deep fried beets

[baymule]

I grew up on canned beets too. Years ago, I grew them and made my own pickled beets and they were yummy. I haven't really grown beets, probably because I was so restricted on space. I did grow a few and they were very good roasted. Deep fried beets........

When cutting up red beets , do they stain your fingers?

YES, your fingers, the cutting board, dish towel, t-shirt etc...

I haven't grown beets for a long time but they taste so good right out of the garden. When I first tried to grow them they didn't do well so I had our soil analyzed, found out it was low in potash, added some and after that they grew really well. DS#1 does a roasted mixed veggie dish in which he sprinkles curry powder, actually it's quite good. I haven't tried roasting them myself I just boil, peel, slice and slather them in butter, pepper and a little salt. One of our grandsons doesn't peel them just scrubs and roasts.

Younger, not crazy about beets. Now I like them. Wife candies them out of garden. Can't wait to try roasted.

Your wash cloth, your sink, your counter top, your napkins, anything close enough to attract the red.

I boiled the beets without peeling and I left a good inch of leaf stems on them too. I also roasted them the same way-without peeling.

The beets won't 'bleed' as much if you cook them that way, bay.

Exactly why I cooked them the way I did. Hmmm......do yellow beets bleed yellow juice?

 

[Smart Red]

Yes, a rather orangy-yellow juice.
