This week's blog would be much too long if I gave you recipes for everything, but here are a couple highly recommended additions to your file!

BEET PUREE
5 med beets
2 T salt
1 stick butter
1 C onions
4 tart apples
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1/4 C rasberry vinegar (or vinegar of choice)
chopped fresh dill (optional)

Scrub beets (leaving skin on) and cover w/cold water in a large pot.  Ad 2 T salt, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered until beets are tender, about 40 min to hour.  Add additional water if necessary.  Drain beets when done, cool slightly and slip off skins, tops, roots.

Melt butter in med saucepan.  Add onions and cook covered until tender, about 25min.

Peel, core, and chop the apples and add them to the onions.  Add sugar, salt, vinegar, and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Transfer apple mixture to food processor w/steel blade.  Chop beets and add.   Process until smooth.

Return puree to saucepan and reheat, stirring constantly.  Taste and adjust seasoning.  Serve immediately or set aside to cool, then chill.
