How to Make Sugar from Beets

Make sure you are growing or purchasing Sugar Beets. (Mangel and WHITE Beets
only -see seed source below). Scrub the beet well and chop it up into small pieces. In a large pan, cover the beet pieces with water and bring to a boil. Cook the beets til they are tender and the juice is
extracted. Drain out the juice and reserve it.

Boil down the juice to about 1/3 it's original volume. Let cool and scrape out
the crystals. Boil the juice again, til it is all gone, remove the crystalized juice again.

Your sugar will not be pure white and it may have a slight beety flavor but it will be far superior nutritionally to refined sugar. Store our sugar in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Use it just as you would refined sugar.
