This is a simple, but absolute favorite recipe that I have been eating since I was a little wee one. I usually add 2 cans of beets because I like beets. This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator, and you can add more eggs or beets to the juice at any time, if you need to. Well recieved at picnics and potlucks.
