Instead of storing beets in the cellar for winter use, try this method of pickling them. They are very fine.
To 1 gallon cooked and sliced beets, add 2 pints of vinegar. If too sour weaken with water.
Add 2 1/2 cups brown sugar, 5 cents worth cinnamon bark and 2 cents worth whole cloves.
Place in a strong jar, tie shut and keep in a cool cellar. These will keep for a year and can be opened from time to time and used.
The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavor.
~Chinese Proverb
There is evidence to support that pineapples were consumed in pre-Inca times, thus indicating that pineapples are native to Central and South America.
