Lemon, Cinnamon and Sugar Beet Tart

Lemon, Cinnamon and Sugar Beet Tart

Well, this is not your everyday pudding and started as an experiment to see how versatile sugar beet was and if it's possible to make homemade sugar. Sugar beet has a bitter aftertaste which is removed during commercial manufacturing where hydrated lime is used in the refining process. The lemon and cinnamon in this recipe completley masks any bitterness. This recipe uses basic cookery techniques but will take a little time to work through. More of a fun exercise and worth a try if you can get your hands on some sugar beet. Not a dinner party dessert though!

  • Time: 2 hours to make the sugar pulp and syrup. 30 minutes to prepare the tart
  • Complexity: easy
