Sweet Jesus! Lord a'mighty! WHY? I just finished taking 13 jars of apricot jam from the boiling water bath and you can be damn sure none will ever get intimate -- nay, not even neighborly -- with a beet in my house. (There ARE no beets in my house. <That's clarification for the wordsmith cop, zxcvbob>😉 I must say it sounds pretty disgusting. Did you spend a LOT of time looking for that abomination, Wayne? Heck, if you did, c'mon over and make yourself useful scrubbing my kitchen floor! JAY-zuzz! -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> An update on 6/27/04.

I wuzn't gonna say anything; I'm still in shock from reading the recipe. Frozen lemonade concentrate? How much? That stuff is strong! (Maybe an attempt to hide the beets.)

Now ya know, I was just funnin' ya. <G> As much as I love pickled beets and pickled beet relish, I don't think I've ever read such a disgusting recipe involving beets. I doubt I could have made up one worse than this if I'd tried.

I whip up a batch of my famous "Can't Be Beet Jelly" just for Bubba Vic. If I can stand the stench of boiled dirt in my house. -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> An update on 6/27/04.
