Beetroot

Hi all, as you know I haven't an allotment & don't grow my own but my neighbours do (although not an allotment, just the garden). However I do love own grown veg etc. Today I have very red fingertips.....can you gues why? My neighbour gave me a jar of her own cooked beetroot & I just couldn't resist:D Eating out of a jar, how common:eek: Absolutely scrumptious:p:D Beats shop bought every time!

cheers

 

Hi Sandra,I spent some time last week boiling up the beetroot that Mr Kandy had pulled up and now have thirteen jars of pickled Beetroot.I don't like the stuff myslef but he loves them.:eek:Hope you enjoyed your jar:thumb:

 

Yummy yummy Sandra I must admit the fellows were still falling over theirselves last week and amongst the bounty of lovely stuff was some beetroot as you say it really is far better than any shop brought ones just a shame that the pan turns black.... talk about needing a good scrub the pan that is and not me!:D Hel.xxx.

 

Wrap them in foil and roast them in the oven - no black pans that way - and they taste fab!

 

Many thanks for that tip Hec I'll give it a go as I always have a bun in the oven!:D Hel.xxx.

 

I love beetroot too and will eat it cooked, baked or even juiced.
Kandyfloww, I'd be happy to liberate some of your pickled beetroot.:D:D

 

i luv a bit of beetroot :D

 

i have a seriouse fobia about beetroot . i have not a clue as to why

for me beetroot is like draging your nails down a blackboard SSSQQQUUUEEELLLLLLL or
spiders
bugs
and many more
id rather not go on
i can do most things and im scared of not alot. but beetroot is my only real cringe factor
im working on it though
managed to grow some beets up the loty
ive gone from absoluty fearing and hating the beet to growing and picking it . i can now handle the beet without a prob .

maybe next year i can not only grow the stuf better but maybe perhaps i could try a taste.
the allotment is fast changing my taste on foods :thumb:

 

I am a huge fan of beetroot. Fresh from the garden or my own pickled beetroot. :thumb: My husbands favourite sandwich is beetroot, salad cream and onion -weird

 

I once had a large crop of Beetroot. Although I knew how to grow the stuff, I didn't know how to pickle it. I neglected to boil it before adding the vinegar. I am hoping that one day, the acid from the vinegar will soften the slices!
