5 pounds beets
6 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon Gefen Salt
juice of 5 lemonsĀ (or about 15 tablespoons Gefen Lemon Juice)
3/4 cup sugar, approximately
Peel beets and cut into quarters.
Place into a 12-quart pot, adding four quarts water. Cook gently for one and a half hours.
In a separate large bowl, beat eggs. Add water, salt, sugar, and lemon juice.
Gradually pour beet liquid into eggs, beating vigorously to prevent curdling.
