"When I was a teenager, my father gave me a book called: Cooking from Quilt Country. It was a collection of Mennonite and Amish farmhouse recipes that had inspired him and he thought I would enjoy it as well. Inside the book, I found numerous methods of preserving foods, but one stood out from the rest. It was "Pickled Beets with Eggs." These were inspired by that recipe."
