I TOTALLY recommend Kara Bagley's online cooking classes - as well as her scheduled classes! Please check out her blog - and learn to cook healthy for your family (NOURISH = NURTURE):
I have spend the past days canning BEETS from my garden - as well as eating tomatoes and watching the summer squash grow bigger! It has been a season for gathering seeds for next year's crop (peas, cilantro, beets, chamomile, poppy, nasturtium, calendula, etc).
The recipe for Harvard Pickled Beets is:
Cook beets - skin them and cut into cubes
Boil together: 1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
1 c sugar
1 T salt
Add cubed beets and bring to boil.
Put into sterilized jars and steam process. Enjoy! My husband's favorite!
