This recipe was given to me many years ago by an elderly farmers wife and has been one of my 'must do' yearly canning recipes. If you have a large amount of beets, just keep repeating brine until your beets are all gone! Enjoy!

This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

The nutty flavor of whole rye goes well with white beans, cabbage, beets, and other vegetables in this filling soup.

This is a great way to use every part of the fresh beets you buy. You can get two delicious side dishes out of this one vegetable.

My friend's mother from the Ukraine taught me this recipe for the classic beet soup. It's as authentic as it gets. It can be served vegetarian style by omitting the sausage.

This colorful and elegant side dish is so easy to make. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers' market. Green onions or chives may be substituted for the shallot if you prefer.

A lovely apple cider vinaigrette is whipped up and makes the beets, avocado and apples in this splendid salad come alive. This is a fun salad to arrange and layer on serving plates. When you 're finished, it looks like an abstract painting.

Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!

If you love beets, (which I didn't till I tried this) you'll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don't include this salad. 

Beetnik Cake

This cake is simply great with the odd ingredient of beets. It goes in the oven pink and comes out a nice rich beige color. It's a great way to use up those extra beets you have from your garden. I often ice it with a cream cheese icing.
