Any Home Bakers Here?

Thanks, bet steamed are as sweet as baked. But bet they would really stain an electric steamer?

I use a sauce pan and a stainless steel steamer insert. The insert can go into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Glad you found what you needed.

Personally I never liked canned beets - but love fresh baked ones.  We haven't grown them for a couple of years, your posts made me think about planting some in my Fall garden 

But just wondering - what else can you do with fresh beets other than canning or baking 

I've grated them into salads and it tastes nice but does make everything pink

We've all grown up on canned Beetroot on hamburgers so anything else just doesn't taste right . I would have been in my 30's before I tasted a fresh one.

And while I say tastes like the store ones I mean the same pickling flavour. The actual finished product was much nicer of course

I do have a double pot intended for pasta I could try, thanks

Do you mean grated raw on salads ?

My DH love canned beets, my family never served those, guess it's an acquired taste

CuzChickens, glad you joined the thread.

Those cinnamon rolls look awesome - they are my personal favorite.

Do you bake for the business at home or have a store front?

Congrats on getting your own flock - I never knew how much better baked goods were with really fresh eggs til I got my own flock.

Thanks for the welcome sunflour! I bake for business at home. I love having my own flock and cooking with their eggs, it is like combining two of my favorite things ever!

Glad you enjoy baking for fun and business. I have always thought turning a hobby into a business would make it less fun and over time become just a job

I have to admit, baking 30 loaves of bread a week and selling them made more of a job and not as much fun, but it is still enjoyable.

The muffins do look good!

Last week I pulled all the winter squashes from the garden in preparation for fall/winter. I had over 40pumpkins, not to mention the Acorn and Butternut squash. So a nice recipe will come in handy.

I also have tons of potatoes, have been canning some of those. But the squash will store for a while, the rest I will freeze. I already made my rounds to neighbors and family and just sort of said "here's some squash" and ran for the car
