Weekend Cooking! 
Visit Beth Fish Reads blog for more.
A few book reviews back, I rated The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronsky with 4 pies and wondered if those pies of worth should be beet, since beets were prominent in the Tartar diet. That got a few of us wondering about beet pie and the search was on. I knew I would have to experiment for this year’s Thanksgiving..
The Mini Beet Pies were a success. I have documented the process on my Tumblr page. Hopefully, it is accessible? Never know with tumblr… OR Try this link: http://bkclubcare.tumblr.com/
Beet Pie 2011
I had given a piece to my friend Holly who called to tell me that it was INCREDIBLE. Aint she sweet?
Happy Crazy Shopping Weekend — or in my case, Happy Crazed House Cleaning Days!!

I’m not a fan of beets, so those don’t appeal to me.
That’s OK, Kathy, I do understand. How about a slice of Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie? Unfortunately, I forgot to snap any photos and it’s almost all gone already.
I like beets, but I’d toss them over in a heartbeat for Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie!
I’m a big fan of beets but it never occurred to me to put them in a pie. I’m off to check out your tumblr report.
It’s good! Better than even I expected. Here’s the recipe link: http://www.edibleusable.com/2009/11/beet-pie.html
I think Jason would really like this. He loves beets!

Mmm, those look tasty! I tried to go to your Tumblr to check out the process, but it says I don’t have permission to view it.
oh thank you for letting me know! I fiddled with the link and hopefully the http://www.bkclubcare.tumblr.com address is more ‘public’.
Mmmm…I love beets! I love the idea of turning them into a pie. This is another one for my ever-growing to-make list!
Great! I have a convert! Not that this is my original idea or anything.
Beet pie? Who woulda thunk it? You really can turn anything into a pie, can’t you?!
Yes, Lisa, I am attracted by “ODD” pie recipes. Gotta any to propose?
I’m really not surprised. Who would have thought zucchini or carrots would be so good in cake?
Exactly! You’re makin’ my point. Beets are sweet.
I’m a huge fan of beets, but can’t imagine them in a pie .. must check out your tumblr page. Then … come knocking for a slice of dark chocolate/raspberry!
I just finished up the choc raspberry pie. Methinks I might have to make another.
Apparently I need to give beets another thought. The pie does look yummy, but I think because I’m imagining it as strawberry rhubarb instead.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Care.
Mmmm… I do like strawberry rhubarb.
Fascinating. Sounds better when you read the recipe than I expected out of something with “beets” and “pie” in the same sentence. I don’t fear beets but I do fear it’ll never end up getting cooked in this household, however.
