:bounce:

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Yes, I think you may be

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. I got a recipe for a beet cake

[peekaloo]

Pickled Beets

[FuzzySlippers]

6. Oh yes! Pickled beets are delish!

My mother used to make wonderful pickled beets.

[GirlinContempt]

7. Never pickled

But they can be ok I guess

[Wapsie B]

8. I've had the canned beats which aren't too bad.

Never had 'em fresh or pickled.

9. I love beets. Love the greens too...cooked or in salad

I make:
Deep fried beets for salads
beet juice
cooked beets
pickled beets
borscht
and would make anything else you could make with a beet

[FuzzySlippers]

13. I've never heard of the deep fried thing before.

How do you prepare them for that?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. There are several ways to do them

you can:
Use a mandolin and slice them very thin..about 1/8 inch or julienne them ( same width) and then fry them in a deep fryer or pan with about 1 inch of hot cooking oil...then remove with a strainer after about 1 t0 1-1/2 minutes and drain on paper towel

OR

you can shred them with the large grater attachment and fry them in 1 inch of hot cooking oil for about 40 seconds in which case you can sprinkle them on a salad like bacon bits

Once fried and crispy they are ten times sweeter..
you do have to watch not to OVERFRY them as they are sugar and burn easily

[FuzzySlippers]

10. What's extraordinarily yummy are beet greens

with tiny, embryonic beets attached.:9

11. I love beet greens

mmmmm

[AKPacker]

12. Haven't had those in years

I can still smell them cooking at my grandmothers house. Do you put bacon in yours?

[FuzzySlippers]

14. No. Just butter.

I haven't had them in ages, either. You pretty much have to have a garden to be able to get them.

[JVS]

16. I'll eat them

[Deja Q]

18. Holy gazpacho, Batman!

:puke:

[LynneSin]

19. I actually juice and drink beet juice

Well, haven't recently because my juicer is broken and needs replaced but I drink a Carrot/Beet/Apple juice a couple of times a week. The beet juice is good for cleaning out ones liver!
