If you dip them in very cold water immediately after they boil, the skin will loosen and all you do is finger peel. So easy. Just FYI. 😉

I have fell down the rabbit hole called canning here in Britain you don’t hear much about it I’ve just ordered my first canning recipe book to help me I’ve been so enjoying your videos thank you you explain it so well 💕💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿blessings from Scotland 💖

[@1870s]

Have fun with it

[@angeliquerider-mitchell2538]

Good luck! Just be sure you're using the right recipe/ canner combo, i.e. high acid/ water bath; low acid/ pressure canner. But, not to worry, your recipe will specify. 🙂

[@lynneceegee8726]

abigail irvine me too Abigail! Just bought my first water bathing canner, cannot find a pressure canner for love nor money but I hope to get one eventually. You might like to join a really lovely online support group called Preserving and Canning UK it’s a Face Book group I have been in a week and learned so much, really nice people. I’m in England,mBTW.

[@ApiaryManager]

I'm in England Abigail and I agree with you. I bought my wife the All American 930 along with all the tools, jars etc for Christmas (to anyone thinking of doing this, the Customs duty from the US will double the cost of an item). Do you find it difficult to find canning supplies here? I bought jars from Lakeland but there's got to be a better/cheaper source. When I watch American canning videos, I can't believe how easy it is there. It just seems that we never really got into canning in the UK. Am I wrong? It was never on my radar anyway.

[@brendasalazar608]

I'm 63 years old. Been canning for 50 years. I Love watching others can things. Even at my age I can learn different ways of doing things. Thank you from SW IOWA.

[@glendavertner8906]

Great Martha Stewart tip I've used for years. After you eat all of the pickled beets, in a jar, save the brine and make Rosy Pink Pickled Eggs. 1) Hard boil the eggs.and peel rhem 2) pack them in the jar with the brine 3) put into the refrigerator for several days 4) The whites of the egg will be pink and the york is yellow. 5) They are beautiful quartered or sliced in a salad. Delicious! 6) Or eat the egg whole as a snack. You can also do this with store bought Pickled Beets . My family love both the beeta and the eggs.

[@1870s]

Yep we've done this a few times

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

I did that and they did not come out with any taste other than just tasted like a boiled egg. I wonder what I did wrong.

[@glendavertner8906]

Not sure what caused your problem of no taste at all. Possibly they needed to stay in the refrigerator a little longer.????? Mine have always worked. Actually I just bought some farm fresh eggs from a local farmer this morning. I saved the pickle juice from some store bought specialty dill pickles. I'm going to try some boiled eggs in it. Have no idea how they will turn out, but it doesn't hurt to try something new. 😉 Have a blessed day

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

@@glendavertner8906 Thank you. Maybe I will try to leave in the brine longer next time.

[@millboroquiltersouthdakota6037]

@@rebeccapettifer6553 stop for you is after your eggs are boiled and cooked, I run a wooden tooth pick through the eggs middle before putting in the brine and I always bring my brine to a boil and heat my jar!

[@shuvanidev]

Oh my gosh, what heaven is this! Pickled beets, my favorite!! :) The only thing I do different is that I used the beet cooking water as the water in the syrup. It has a little flavor, but a gorgeous deep color. You can use the water for other pickling projects or in smoothies, cooking grains and rice and stuff. You can sweeten it and use it as a base for summer drinks. The color is just awesome! It would really add a kick of color added to pink lemonade. I think you could dry and powder your leftover beet trimmings. You could also use them to make kvass or borscht or beet jam. You could freeze them and add them to smoothies. You can puree them and add them to muffin or cake mixes or hummus or use it to make fresh pasta...... I love beets :)

[@cynthiastauffer8012]

We always used the boil water as well!! They look so beautiful!! I have never canned them when I got older...I just open a store bought can and cold pickle them in the fridge :) I am 58 and I always helped my mom can when I was younger but have never really done it myself...until this year :) my youngest son and I put in a nice garden and have really enjoyed it together ❤ ☺

[@pamelaabrams9003]

[@clarabrown9743]

I've used the beet water to make bread. Beautiful pink dough, bakes to a yellow-pink bread. Lovely 😊

[@shellakers10]

I use both peels, stems and roots for dehydrating and grinding to beetroot powder. I'm late to your video but this was very helpful! Thank you!!!

[@sarahkay6560]

Yes, I have roasted my beets instead of cooking them. I roast them to knife tender. They held up well through the water bath and tasted great.

[@1870s]

No I meant after you've pickled them have you then roasted with like olive oil salt & pepper?

[@MissSandraK]

Great suggestion! I got a bag of beets from Blocks, and I’m going to put some in a red cabbage slaw canning recipe. That would save me stove top room.

[@Junkinsally]

@@1870s-I would add some pickle crisp to a few jars I wanted to roast to help keep them firm enough to roast.

[@RustyPgh]

@sarahkay6560 Thanks for this answer. I had 3 monster sized beets in the half bushel I bought, and you solved my problem with what to do with these!

[@jackieblakemore56]

Hi!!! I’m from England and my mother always taught me that you shouldn’t even wash beetroot that much. I just rinse the beets, I wouldn’t scrub them or poke knives in them whilst cooking, or they will bleed! They come out totally clean anyway when you get the skins off x

[@emptynestgardens9057]

I'm in Canada and my British Grandma taught me that way too. 😊

[@vjohnson2400]

Jackie Blakemore how do you test the beets are ready if you don’t poke them with something sharp?

[@jackieblakemore56]

V Johnson I would cook smaller ones for 30 minutes. Larger ones for 40/45 minutes. You can also tell by squeezing them a little if unsure. You can tell that they’re done, they have a bit of give in them. Xx

[@valeriepillon3279]

If you let them bleed early, won’t that save you embarrassing stains when you break out a jar when company is over?? Or does it lose flavour?

[@jackieblakemore56]

Valerie Pillon beetroot will always stain. I don’t really know what happens if they ‘bleed’ I suspect that they are not as red in colour as they should be? I’ve never tried, as I was told that as a fact and followed that way way. I’m pretty sure it was a correct teaching, so went with that. Feel free to experiment if you like , but I’m sticking to traditional methods xxx

[@andreal.8628]

Canadian way to peel: Once cooked, drain, add cold water and as soon as you can handle them just rub the peel off...so easy even the ends come off.

[@jackieblakemore56]

Andrea L. Yes,, I just rub the peel off when cooked too. X

[@NorthernDispatch0943]

I do the same thing when I process beets.🙂

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Oh yes this Canuck just rubs them off while warm too. Pickled beets my absolute fave. I'd take a jar over chocolate any day. 😁👍🏻

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

I love this tip!

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

I'm in Il USA and my mom and grandma taught me the same. So easy.

[@pollkat]

Love canning beets they are so easy. I have canned & froze them with the skins on once scrubbed really well because you can't even taste the skin and there is so many nutrients in the skins, but if you want the skin off, as soon as you cook them for a short time in boiling water, put them in cold water and the skins slip right off with your hands. Much quicker than peeling.

[@bettymacallister3475]

Hi I like the skins on my fruits and veggies, carrots, potatoes, beets etc also. They say it’s the healthy part. So I’m leaving the skins on beets too. My first time canning beets . Thank you

[@theheritagehousesc]

I do refrigerated pickled beets and they are also so yummy! I grew up having them on the table with every meal that way and still make them my mom use to. We use vinegar, tons or garlic, S/P and olive oil. You let the flavors marinate for a day or and put in the fridge or put them straight in there. Stays there forever seems like it 😂 I need to try to can some one day. Roasted are great too. I see no reason why you couldn’t dehydrate and turn them into powder. I do the same with tomato peels. Besides, most of the good stuff are in the skin. Make your own power booster. I take beet powder in my smoothies, yogurts etc. I buy mine but if you have the scraps that can be done easy. Go for it. Great video!

[@charlotteburns4536]

[@peachy75019]

Am I the only one who watched in horror as they fired up that cooker right next to their house? 😲 If you plunge the beets into cold water as you remove them from the cooking pot, you don't need a knife to peel them ... the peel just slides right off.

Is it a MI. Thing? Lol. I haven't been able to find pickling salt either. I have a 3 year old grandson who if I let him him would eat a quart of pickled beets everyday. Silly little man😁

[@happydays1336]

You can buy non-iodized ("plain") salt at the grocery store. It's the same thing as canning salt but lots cheaper. It's the iodine in the salt that makes cloudy pickles.

@@happydays1336 Hey thanks I did not know that! Wonderful information!

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

I read somewhere that kosher salt can be used if unable to find pickling salt

[@violiendamast]

Dutch way to handle red beets: wash roughly, roots may stay on, bad spots no biggy, some sand left no problem. Boil for 30-45 minutes. Only then clean them, very easy once they’re boiled. You can rub the skin off with your fingers, it just falls off. Slice thinly and then process further whatever way you want.

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

I love this tip!

[@Monkchip]

[@margaretthompson6391]

I like to roast my beets when pickling them. It concentrates the flavour. Remember that the beets continue to o cook when set aside awaiting peeling so roast to just done.

Please keep the stove away from your house. My friend had a faulty tank go bad that was new and almost caught her house on fire!

Those cookers are used here for crab and muscle boil up parties. Use all the peel for beetroot powder. The beets, at least the beets I grow, can be peeled with just hand pressure. Squeeze the beet and it'll slip out of your hand, leaving its peel behind.

Although this is a two year old video, I came across this because I wanted to do water bath canning of pickled beets. My first thought of using your scraps to make a powder reminded me of a lady here in KZbin that uses a dehydrator to make a powder. I would suggest watching or subscribing to "RoseRed Homestead", if you haven't already. Very smart lady who taught science. She even has a video on powdered eggs.

Wow I have spent today canning my homegrown beets & have just taken them down to my storage pantry- exhausted though. I wish I had one of those gas BBQ's for boiling so think I will start using our outdoor BBQ for doing the boiling, also if you cut & peel the beets while they are hot (with gloves on of course) the skin etc just slips straight off also going to try popping some onions in my next batch as I have never heard of that here.

What I like to do instead of using 4 cups of fresh water I use some of the Beet water because it gives it a nice cool red colour I know the beets will probably bleed a bit in the jar but I find the presentation a little bit better when it's nice and Rich and red. I only use cloves in my recipe but I've contemplated using allspice berries as well I'm just wondering if it's going to be super overpowering. The recipe I use says to put a couple clothes in each jar has opposed to making the brine spiced so maybe I should try making the spice brine directly..mmm I love pickled beets! Have you ever made beet jelly? My granny used to make that all the time and it was our favourite

[@kellyball4051]

Just wanted to let you know that yes, I have canned pickled beets that I roasted instead of boiling. They turned out fantastic, nice and firm too. I used Alton Brown's pickled beet recipe and everyone loved them. EVERYONE.

We live up north now, in Gladwin, so we don't go down there anymore, sadly. Really love you guys and your channel. I've learned how to do a lot of stuff I couldn't figure out by watching you (like determining how much I need to get each year for canning, and how to organize that stuff so I can actually grow my garden rather than get so overwhelmed that I sleep 16 hours a day all summer long!)

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Get a Cannon Vixia. It'll never turn off unless the battery dies or the SD card is full. You will need to get a wide angle attachment though

I love beets on a green salad! Sooo yummy. 🤗

[@suesparkledimndart4309]

Hi , I made beetroot powder last week by peeling and cutting the ends off , then grated and placed on baking paper on a tray in my small oven on low . Burnt one lot 😮 otherwise others were okay . Experimenting !! Kept moving the beetroot around. Used uncooked beetroot. 😊

I've been using the same recipe as you for many years now. Recently took a master preserver class from my local extension office and they told me that I wasn't adding enough vinegar and was lucky that I didn't end up with botulism poisoning. You need to add 2 parts vinegar to one part water to raise the acid to a safe PH, or, you'll need to pressure cook the beets using your old recipe as if this were a low acid food.

Marilyn Petty I bet you’re the person to ask. Which is the oldest edition of the Ball canning book that you can still use? I know not to use my 1988 one. Also, Simple Alaska Living made zucchini bread in jars. That looked scary to me. Is there a way to do that safely?

[@marlenebennett6148]

I have canned pickled beets using the Ball canning book for over 45 years using equal parts of cider vinegar sugar and water. We have never had an issue. I do pressure can.

[@cindyperry5504]

Marilyn you are indeed correct. I just checked the 2016 New Ball Book of canning and preserving and the recipe calls for twice as much vinegar as water for water bath canning.

[@marilynpetty6717]

@@marlenebennett6148 I used equal parts of vinegar and water and water bath canned beets like this for 40 years, and my mother did the same before that, and like 99.99% of everyone else, I didn't have a problem either...but....some day I may end up as that .01% and that's not a risk I'm willing to take now that I know safer practices. HOWEVER...if you are pressure canning, then that kills the botulism spore and the 1 water to 1 vinegar is fine to use

[@marilynpetty6717]

@@letarogers6380 I saw the bread in jars video by Simple Alaska, and that is absolutely not safe!!! They stored those jars in their root cellar that was almost at freezing temperatures, so that may have helped preserve it. If you are using a recipe from an old Ball canning book and your not sure if it's a safe method to use, call you local extension and they can help you. There is no safe method to can anything in an oven.

I'm just saying for the amount I process I use a food processor to slice it up but that burner system is better than mine..I'm going to buy 1...New subscriber from Downunder...😊😊

[@debralynnbailey6527]

💗 did you use Apple cider vinegar ???

[@leahcholette7855]

Lol we live 7 minutes from Block’s Farmstand and are picking up our beets today. Also, we too follow Guildebrook farms! Love them!

[@joguertin4181]

Absolutely loved this video. Very compréhensive. I also love the relationship you both have. I also had no idea allspice was a spice in its own right...I thought it was a mix. The more you know! Yours was the first canning vidéo that finally inspired me to create a canning playlist ❤

[@justus4685]

I'll have to check out Block's! Do you think their prices are better than Eastern Market? I'm from Northern Macomb County and we have TONS of produce stands.

[@stevendowden2579]

enjoyable video

[@rosejarman6920]

I use the roots and tips and skins and ferment into beet kvass

[@robertmitchell6061]

Feed them to your chickens if you have any

[@meldlew]

I bought a big bag like that from Azure... planning to get them canned tomorrow! But they have all had their roots and stems cut clean off!😡😡 I wasn’t happy. Paid extra for “organic”

[@ronwells3310]

Dehydrate the remaining beet root & peels. Add to arrowroot ... 2-1 ratio for face powder... you can make lip balm too... I dehydrated everything, learning to can now...

[@adryawebb2556]

I skip the pre cooking process. I peel them raw with a peeler, slice up, stuff in the jars, fill with the spiced pickling brine, close up the jars, then heat up and water-bath for 45 minutes. They come out perfect with maximum color and flavor preserved.

[@kathiwisner5103]

Did you water bath can in your pressure canner?

[@ann1260]

I bought a camp stove about 4 years ago? ... for emergency cooking. It’s still sealed up in the original box. I think I will get myself an outdoor canning kitchen going!

[@suewalter256]

I got one and I haven't been able to use mine either for the wind
