"THE BEETS Mother served with this meal came from our garden and were canned for the winter months. Even as a child I loved beets because they brought so much color to our table. Their tangy flavor is a great complement to the rest of the foods in this meal.

I made this yesterday, and had my first taste today. The taste was really good. The only thing i did different was I use Splenda. After the beets were cooked, it took less than 20 minutes to make.
