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
