Anyone grow sugar beets and make sugar from them?

I saw sugar beet seeds on eBay and they have directions for making sugar - which sounds rather easy if time consuming. Has anyone every tried doing that?

I've just grown beets and eaten them. They take forever to get big enough to eat and I don't grow many, maybe 20 - 30. So we just eat them. Fresh homegrown beets & their greens are the best (as is almost any homegrown veggie!). If you end up making sugar, let us know how it comes out. Janet in W Houston

I've got non-gmo albino sugar beets planted this year and want to try to make sugar. Can you remember where you saw that recipe? Thanks.
