When I make that Beet Jelly, I peel them first -- I want the red liquid.
I ran the beets through my french fry cutter blade for the fp -- by the
time they were done cooking (I pressure cooked the suckers to keep down
the stink) the pieces were almost white. I've got pictures. And don't
tell Zelt or Harry that I ate the beet greens -- they were, as you say,
better than spinach. Yum. I've got pictures of that, too. Shh-h-h-h,
it'll be our little secret.
