Old family recipe. You just can't eat store bought canned beets after tasting these. May also can this recipe, but multiply ingredients. It's not worth canning just one jar. :) Estimated prep time includes cleaning, skinning and cutting. Ingredients:
2 lbs beets, greens removed (couple inches of greens left on) |
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar |
1/2 cup beet juice |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 peppercorns |
1/4 bay leaf |
Directions:
1. Wash the dirt off the beets.
2. In a covered pan cook whole beets in boiling salted water until tender (35-50 minutes).
3. Cool slightly, cut off remaining greens and slip off skins.
4. Save 1/2 cup of the beet juice (water beets were cooked in).
5. Cut up beets the way you want them.
6. Put in a clean, empty jar.
7. In a small pan bring the beet juice and the remaining ingredients to a boil.
8. Pour the hot liquid mixture over the beets.
9. Let come to room temperature and then chill.
