Canning Sweet Pickled Beets Using a Hot Water Bath

[@paulwilliams200]

Tightening lids "super tight" is tighter than my method. "Finger-Tip Tight" works best for me.

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Someone else recently told me of the method you use. I just do what my mom did for years. I'll have to experiment.

WHY YOU NOT KEEP TWO CUPS OF THE BEET JUICE?

[@mysticunicorn66]

I put 3 tsp cinnamon, 3 tsp ground cloves, and 3 tsp allspice with 3 cups water, 3 cups sugar and 3 cups white vinegar

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

You can definitely change up the spices you choose to include.

[@mysticunicorn66]

Always leave a bit of stem above the beets otherwise they bleed out

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Yes!

Canning my beets today 8/2/24 yummy thank you! God bless

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Hope you enjoy!

[@user-ov4ji7wd8u]

Thanks so much for the clear and well-rounded directions and insight! I'm wondering if you have something on the bottom of the water bath to hold the jars off the bottom? Or does that not matter as much? Many thanks for sharing.

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

I do have a tray with holes in that came with my canner. That sits in the bottom under my canning jars.

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

Need some onion and cloves in that,,MMMmmmm

[@doncooper512]

That's for sure..couple cloves in each jar..

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Go ahead and try it. It’s fun to put our own twists on recipes.

Love your videos! Just curious, do you have a science background? I feel like I am in a class.

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Yes, I do. I started out as an elementary teacher where I taught all subjects including science. Now I am a middle school math teacher, but I try to incorporate science into my math lessons when possible to help students see the need for math.

[@cathycharron-folsom4504]

Too much sugar for me

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Definitely not low in sugar, but oh so tasty.

[@Lori6578]

I'm just curious as to why you tighten down the lids so hard? I was always taught to tighten jars to finger tight only so jars down break in the canning process. I'd like to know your thoughts on this

[@ThymetoCookwithSusanBeck]

Interesting. I had not heard of your method. I just do what my mom did. I'll have to do some research on this and seek opinions of others I know who can.

[@donaldmackay3222]

This is the proper way to cook beets. So they don't bleed into the water.

[@elizabethortiz4575]

Hi Could be made without sugar or less sugar? Tks
