Color!
We eat with our eyes, Yes? And color is a fun thing, but with chemicals in them – not so much! Inspired by my baking and cake decoration obsessed BFF (of the carrot cake pancake fame ; ), I decided to make me some all natural Beet Food Color – outcome ranges from light pink to a deep magenta. I used to color my shortbread cookies! The little girls I teach loved it 🙂

| Beet Colored Shortbread Cookies |
beets – I used 3
water – 1/4 cup (may need less)
Procedure:
If you have a juicer, simply run the beets through the juicer and you’re done! If you have a food processor, here’s how it’s done 🙂

Wash the beets
Peel and chop up the beets
Puree the chopped beets in a food processor, add water if needed
Place cheese cloth on glass bowl and empty pureed beets into it
Use your hands to squeeze out all the beet juice
And you’re DONE!
Beet juice is pretty potent in its coloring effect. And the vitamins and nutrients that come with it are a nice bonus 🙂 Have fun with it! I believe it keeps well in the freezer. I’m gonna try it.
To Love 🙂
