The Most Beautiful Beets

While harvesting beets at my farm job this week, my farmer cut one in half to show me what we were harvesting--di Chioggia beets!

What a beautiful presentation they make!

Well.... I thought I was done canning beets; but I couldn't resist--canned 10 pints.  Their color does fade with pressure canning, but they still have pretty circles of color.  Freezing would be a better way to go with these; that is, to preserve the color--live and learn!
