CANNED HARVARD BEETS (SWEET)
I have been using this recipe for about 25 years now when our beets come off. We love them. I got the recipe from a CANNING, PRESERVING,& FREEZING COOKBOOK (Favorite Recipes Of Home Economics Teachers) that I sold to my Mom when I was in Home Economics In 1974. She used this book & now it's mine. One of my favorites.

- 11. Peggi's note: I use larger beets sometimes , but just make sure when you cut them in half or quarter them that they are all the same size so they cook uniformly. We eat them cold as a side. This recipe never said if you put them in quarts or pints, but I always can mine in pints.

Steps:
- Cut the leaves off the beet about 3" off the beet to prevent the beet from bleeding out. (Reserve them for cooked greens).

- No salt in the water.
- Boil beets till tender, can be checked using a fork (like a potato).
- Drain and discard cooking liquid; let beets cool so they can be easily peeled.
- Cut beets into 1/2" pieces, leaving very small beets whole.
