If you don't normally eat beets fresh or baked you're better off with a different variety.McWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818468409338455395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-46392946478827218672010-12-03T11:33:57.820-07:002010-12-03T11:33:57.820-07:00When I was young, my Mom fixed Harvard Beets. No ...When I was young, my Mom fixed Harvard Beets. No idea about the name...but they're plain beets with a vinegar-sugar-cornstarch thickened sauce. The funny thing is that while the recipe is in the Joy of Cooking and a couple of older cookbooks I have, it isn't in any of the new veggie-focused cookbooks I have. <br /><br />If you haven't tried them like that, you might check online for a recipe.sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-55127957485960808892010-11-09T07:19:15.252-07:002010-11-09T07:19:15.252-07:00Wow those beets are looking good,I'm planing t...Wow those beets are looking good,I'm planing to have one of those too.Amarone winehttp://www.evintner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-38715610888900721692010-11-04T12:05:52.450-06:002010-11-04T12:05:52.450-06:00Did you try the golden beets?

They didn't seem as "earthy" and were a bit sweeter (at least when we grew them in Alaska but then the sweetness factor could be due to the cool summers!) My family doesn't eat them so I only grow a few for fresh eating, dehydrating (for single servings of borsch), a couple of jars to pickle, and for the freezer. But then my family all revolt at the mention of beets any way!
