Directions: |
Directions:Wash beets well and cook with skins on until tender. Cool with cold water until the beets are cool enough to handle. Using your hands remove the skins. Using a knife remove any stems and roots. Cut in pieces or slices as required,
Strain beet water through a coffee filter to remove any debris from the water.
Make a spice bag by placing the spices in a 4-5 inch square of cotton. Tie the square closed with a piece of cotton string. Bring vinegar, beet water, sugar and spice bag to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer it the more spice flavour is transferred. Remove spice bag. Add the chopped beets and heat long enough so that the beets are warm. Transfer to sterile jars (leave about 1/4 inch at the top) and seal. Concaved lids indicate that the jars have sealed. Let sit for 3-4 weeks before use. |
