The great purple beet explosion of 1984

Daily writing prompt
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

When I was 16, my mom and grandma were teaching me how to can. We were working on canning jars of purple beets in a pressure canner.

The next round of jars were in, the canner sealed. However, one of the jars did not hold. It exploded and caused the lid to blow off the canner. Purple beets went everywhere, including on the ceiling.

It took days to clean that mess!!!!
