Salt and vinegar pays off!


I've won a couple of beetroot classes this season proving that my method of soaking overnight (sometimes 2 nights) in water with a dash of vinegar and salt really does work!

Having said that, I've had an awful lot of misshapen roots this season and it's taken a lot more effort digging up enough roots to make a matching set.

Most of mine got eaten by various creatures or went flat. The ones I did show when cut, the table was red with beetroot juice after doing that trick lol.

Well I must have been lucky all these years....can't say I've had seen my juices flow over the show bench....not until after judging and there's a red card there anyways LOL
