Pickled Beets, anyone??

This week our CSA members were provided beets in their share. Add some Walla Walla onions with the mixed greens (both found in this week's share) and you have a lovely summer salad!
Here is a great recipe from one our supporters (and a friend), Mindy Crum
Pickled Beets
Ingredients
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
