So, here it is day 15. Isn't this ugly? LOL Do you know what they are? BEETS!! I went to the farmers market on Monday and she had 3 quarts of beets; that's it. I was "lucky" to get them since they usually sell out first thing in the morning. Why beets? Because I love pickled beets and that is one of my canning projects to complete! I grew up with a mom that canned lots of stuff and her recipe for the beets were the best . . .granted now, as I read the Ball Canning Guide, I realize she got it right out of that cookbook! Anyway, I have tried store bought and cannot find any that taste nearly as good so I'm going to make my own. My husband hates them. So I really just would like to get 12 jars - one a month for me :-) It will be interesting to see if the boys like them - if they do, I might have to try for 24 next year. Anyway, right now the beets are enjoying my counter. I haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. I'm aiming to get them down on Friday or Saturday . . .than you'll see another picture and they will be "pretty" :-)
