MONKEY BREAD

Monkey Bread is a favorite among young and old.  I decided to post this recipe given to me by my friend Margo.  She has made this so many times for us.  My grandchildren love it!  You simply pull it apart and eat it!
Here is what you will need:
Grease a tube pan or bundt pan.  Preheat oven at 350.  Cook for 35 minutes.
3 large Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick of butter or margarine.
Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.  Cut the slices in quarters and roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mix.  Place them in the pan.  After placing all of them in the pan, sprinkle with brown sugar.  Cut up the margarine or butter and place it on top. 
Bake in a 350 oven for about 35 minutes.  Cool for a few minutes and serve.  Tastes best when warm.
IF you should have any left over (which I doubt) Place in an air-tight container so it will stay fresh.

PICKLED BEETS

For the next few posts I will be sharing my Mother-in-laws "canning" recipies.  This is one of my Husband's favorites.  Here is what you will need:
1/2 bushell of Beets
1 quart of white vinegar
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of salt.
Peel Beets and put aside.
Place all ingredients in pan and add enough water to cover the Beets.  Bring the mixture to a boil and add Beets.  Be sure that the Beets are covered, if they are not, add more water.  Let it all boil for about 5 minutes.  Meanwhile steam the jars.  Pack while everything is hot and keep out of drafts.  **you can cut the recipie down for smaller amounts of Beets.
Enjoy!
