Looks like today's the day. . .

.. . . for Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks. Gack!

I bought the ones I bought and then almost bought a couple bunches of
orange-color b**ts and then decided there's no point in throwing good
money after bad.

There's a recipe in the big Ball book that doesn't look any worse than
the other two I've tried. I might try that one; will see what SETP
offers, too.

What's the predominant flavor in them? Sweet-sour? Cinnamon? IMWTK.

I've never had pickled b**ts with cinnamon. My own recipe is just
vinegar, sugar, water, sliced onions (optional) and a few peppercorns.

It is kind of you to keep this treasure alive. Those of us who are b**t
deprived appreciate your efforts. Good luck at the Fair.

That recipe I use from JOP uses fresh ginger (have used candied in a pinch),
cinnaminimum and cloves. Among other things.

Oh, Goodie!!! I am so pleased to see you're giving in to pickling
Gacks once again! I so loved my gramma and my mom's PBs. They were
the only "canners-preservers" in my family, and have been each been
into their next life for over 25 and 15 years.

With the great local Farmers Market suppliers, I would even try to
make them myself were I properly equipped...as in with the right size
pan and rack for the cook-sealing process. I would describe them as
slightly sweet with a deep, rich (as opposed to plain ole white)
vinegar taste, rather than just sweet-sour. It's been so long, but I
think they always had a slightly cinnamon, and rather strong clove
taste as well. I still hate both taste and smell of raw, white or
yellow onion, but I would gobble up even those within jars of PBs my
loved ones put up every year. Those, and Pickled Peaches were the
two jars of what I considered dessert that momma had to best monitor
so as to keep me from over-dosing.

I hope you're not talking about Beets? I grew up eating them, best
part was the tops...with butter salt&pepper, and a wee drizzle of
vinegar.

I bought some pickling spice (blend) at the co-op this morning and made
sure there are plenty of allspice berries in it. Pretty sure there's
cimanimamon in it, too. "-)
