Thanks for letting me know. I guess that should have been obvious now that I think about it cuz if they were cooked they'd basically disintegrate right? Turn to mush. Thanks for responding. They are such a delicacy.

Hi DeDe. Great recipe and I LOVE those tings! I am wondering, are the beets cooked ahead of time or does one slice and put them in RAW?
Thanks.
Denise.

I had sum wonderful pickled turnips at a Mediterrean Restaurant by my job the other day. They were a decoration on an order of Baba Goooge. They were AWESOME! They were a bit sweet, not overly sweet, just mildly sweet enough to taste. Can u add a bit of sugar to the recipe?
