Beet Juice into Candy?

Taffy

Dusty was making pickled beets. He got the beets into the pressure cooker and then started making the sugar/vinegar juice that goes into the cans. He read the directions and thought he was supposed to boil the juice for 30 minutes but instead he was supposed to bring it to a boil. When he was ready to use the juice he noticed it was really thick. He said it looked like candy so he tried it and it was really good. So he decided to make suckers, taffy, and candies out of it. How funny! I would have thrown it away. Now we have treats for Family Home Evening tonight.
