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.

- 5. Combine water, vinegar & sugar in large saucepan & bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- 6. Add beets & heat, but do not boil.

- 9. Process in hot water bath for 30 minutes.
- 10. Serve hot as a vegetable or cold on relish trays.
- 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.
