Ingredients

  1. 5kgs small to medium beets
  2. 500 mlwhite sugar
  3. 15 mlpickling salt
  4. 1 litreWhite Vinegar (Apple Cider Vinegar as Alternative)
  5. 60 mlwhole cloves, if desired

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place beets in boiling water and cook until tender, approximately 15 mins. Then take skin off and cut into desired pieces. Save beet water in pot for brine.

  2. 2

    Place 10 x 500 ml in boiling water or in oven at 100 C for 10 min. Wash unused lids and snap rings.

  3. 3

    Fill each jar with cut up beets and a few cloves if desired.

  4. 4

    Bring to boil beet water, sugar, vinegar and pickling salt. Once boiled, then pour mixture in each jar. Put lid on jar and loosely tighten ring.

  5. 5

    In large pot with enough water high enough to cover jars, bring water to boil. Place jars in boiling water. Ensure each jar has at least 5 cm water covering jar lids. Boil filled jars for at least 10 mins. You should see tiny bubbles come from lid in boiling water.

  6. 6

    Once finished boiling, take out jars and let cool. If the lids "pop" in, then you correctly processed. If not, then the lid was too tight during boiling process.

  7. 7

    Once successfully processed and cooled down, store in a cool/dark dry area for up to 12 months. Put date on jars. Once opened, beets are good for a week.
