Shane I and completed 18 quarts of (very thin) crushed tomatoes last Saturday.

Today we are putting up our beets.  We found that it takes about 10 to 12 pounds of beets to fill 7 quarts. We're using Karla's recipe:

Pickled Beet Brine:

10 cups beet water

2 cups vinegar

3 cups sugar

1 TB salt

To process, we cold packed the jars and pored the boiling brine over the beets. Then we water bathed them for 30 minutes.
