I picked up a huge stash of them a couple of years ago at a thrift store and paid about 0.20/liter jar. Not bad at all, but free is even better. :D<BR/><BR/>How do you store your beets? They always go soft on me rather quickly. Would love to know how you keep them. <BR/><BR/>I love your blog! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-15655508170101175282007-08-26T21:23:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:23:00.000-04:00I made my first watermelon and banana smoothie tod...I made my first watermelon and banana smoothie today.

I'd love to have a root cellar!<BR/><BR/>And, like Ruthie, we also freeze melon. I blend it first and then freeze in ziploc bags. The watermelon should work great in <A HREF="http://desertculinary.blogspot.com/2005/06/watermelon-agua-fresca.html" REL="nofollow">agua fresca</A>. Just don't defrost it completely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-8181030533641342922007-08-23T20:27:00.000-04:002007-08-23T20:27:00.000-04:00Oh good for you!!!!!! :-)I can't wait to start can...Oh good for you!!!!!! :-)<BR/>I can't wait to start canning someday... <BR/><BR/>Idea: We freeze melon for smoothies and shakes.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385890645302358783noreply@blogger.com
