Esther's Canning Pickled Beets

Mary Wensing Dvorachek
Wash beets and cook in salt water for about 1 1/2 hours or till tender, then peel by putting the beets in cold water. Peel right in the cold water and then rinse.
Cut beets in 1/2's or 1/4's (or if you have small ones you can can them whole)

Brine for Small Batch

2 c. water
1 c. vinegar
1 c. sugar

Brine for Large Batch

8 c. water
4 c. vinegar
4 c. sugar

Pack beets in pint or quart size jars. Pour brine over beets. Put lids and rims on and process in hot water bath for 35 minutes

****Do not tighten your lids real tight, just turn regularly until lid stops, do not tighten any further, you can tighten them more once they are sealed.

Enjoy
