    How to Make Sugar from Beets:


    o    Cut the greens off of the root
    o    Clean thoroughly
    o    Dice and shred in a food processor
    o    Boil in a large pot filled with water to just cover the beets
    o    Boil about one hour until beets are soft and mushy
    o    Strain the pulp from the liquid
    o    To extract the most from the beet a cheesecloth can be used to squeeze the juice from the 
            pulp 
    o    Strain again if needed to remove all of the pupl from the fluid - fluid should be pulp free
    o    Boil remaining liquid down until it forms a sweet syrup or crystals-whatever is desired
    o    May take several hours
