Jan, et al;
I was given a frightening amount of fresh-picked (fresh-dug?) beets
by a friend, and have no idea whatsoever what to do with them. Any ideas?
I've never had beets, bar the pickled 'Bicks' variety in the jar (which I
adore, but have stopped buying because they're loaded with sugar).
Is it true that you can't peel them before cooking, as they 'bleed
to death'?
Thanks in advance,
Jacqueline
