Beet Eingemachts (preserves)

We live in a world where truth is relative. According to most, there is no absolute standard to determine right from wrong because truth is ever-changing and subjectively suited to personal opinions and popular culture. Most want to believe this because at our core we want to be autonomous without any accountability and restraints. We want to be God. We want to be the sole arbitrator to determine right from wrong. So to bolster support for this driving tendency, many have used the Word of God for their justification. They have erroneously taken Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 not to judge as their shield for critique-free sinful behavior. It’s funny how they use our Lord’s words as a reason not to submit to the rest of our Lord’s words found elsewhere in the Bible! However, such a position is contradictory to the inherent understanding of societal function and clearly a false interpretation of what Jesus intended.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here is a recipe for beet preserves from Love and Knishes by Sara
Kasdan, one of the best Jewish cookbooks I own. Copyright is 1956 so  I
doubt if it is still in print. Being from NYC, I had no idea that
Jewish culture/cooking existed out of the mileu.(New Yorkers are
amazingly provincial!) Mrs. Kasdan was a Kentuckian but the recipes
match my grandmother's. Judy  Peel and dice beets. Place beets and
remaining ingredients in a deep  kettle and cook over moderate flame
for 1 hour. Turn into jelly  glasses or small crock. Store in a dark
place to prevent loss of  color. This is served as a sweet preserve.
Makes about 3 jelly  glasses.  Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest by Judith
