Beetroot!


More precisely, beetroot pickle. I can't stand beetroot, but a lot of people I know do.

So, being the generous, warm hearted, person I am, (did I mention modest), I only grow it for others. Towards the end of last year as I'd got about 3 x 32' rows of stuff I don't like, I thought I'd try to get rid of some as pickle, using the people at church coffee morning as guinea pigs.

I chose a complicated recipe - boil it, cool it, skin it, slice it, throw picking vinegar on it. End result was somebody bought it!

Even more amazing was the follow up request for more, so I did a raid on the soggy plot, pulled up a carrier bag of the stuff and here's the result. I hope to dispose of it safely tomorrow.
