Pickled Beet and Carrot Greens for Winter

A pretty, vibrant green-tops base to put up for winter! How nice it is to pull out a jar in winter, open it, and turn it into soup. Putting it up this way locks in the vitamins for the whole year. I never used to cook with the leafy tops until my neighbor taught me this recipe—now I put up this base every year. It's a real lifesaver in winter!
