How I Pickle Beets - Canning Pickled Beets

Ingredients
10 pounds fresh small beets, stems removed
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon pickling salt
1 quart white vinegar
1/4 cup whole cloves
Directions
Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.
Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt. Bring to a rapid boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 40 minutes.

Pickled beets is the very first thing I ever canned in a 4-H project in 1973 and still my most requested thing I can.

[@carolfloyd6550]

We just finished 24 pints pickled beets. So yummy. I will be my nephews favorite Aunt.

I just love how ruby red cooked beets look! Thanks for showing this.

What I needed. Finally got beets to pick and can this year. Success.

Great job, the video was clear,a bit humorous, informative, thumbs up

[@deborhasmith7746]

I don't care to eat beets but the husband loves them. They are one of my favorite things to can, and they are so pretty sitting on the shelf in the pantry. And just knowing how much the husband likes them, makes me feel good about myself. Canning is so rewarding. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel. Great job my friend!!!

I love pickled beets. It's the only way I'll eat them but sometimes I can't get beets so I cheat & turn canned beets into pickles. They're just as good when it's the middle of winter. I just keep them in fridge for a treat.

[@tiggerbouncing797]

Just loved the video and it's awesome that you put the recipe and directions wish others would do the same it's alot easier just to print off and put in cookbook...lol

Hey girl, I tried your recipe for pickled beets today. I canned 24 pints and 12 quarts. Had a little bit left over so I ate those. Wow! Those are really good so, in the future I’m using YOUR recipe. Really delicious! Thanks for going through the steps for us!

[@amystiles1642]

Yay!!!! Another canning video. I tried canning pickled beets two years ago, and it didn't turn out so well. I like the way you do it, and it makes me want to give it another try. Thanks for sharing your canning techniques.

I love beets but do a little different since I do not like cloves. I use for the brine this ratio - 1 cup sugar, 1 cup Apple cider vinegar and 1 cup water. Heat to boiling and pour over beets in jars. Process as you did in water bath. This makes a sweet/tangy pickle. yummy!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Sounds good

Mom used to make these when I was a kid and I hated them. Fast forward to now and I am not sure. For a test I bought a jar and have them chilling in the fridge. If I love them now, this video will be great to follow along for the process. I sure remember having pink hands helping Mom slip the beet skins. My stove has the same configuration of burners as yours and it is ridiculous. All the back large burner is good for is rotating out with the front one to keep the wear even.

I know this ain't the place to put this, but wasn't sure how to reach you. Have you ever made pickle radishes?

Thank you...😊 Learning so much from your videos.. keep up the awesome job.❤️

[@srg6532]

I'm considering placing the cloves and anything else that is hard, in a piece of cheesecloth and tie in a knot. Hopefully, it will prevent the having to separate them out later.

[@jjo5375]

I really enjoy COLD pickled beets in salads; regular beets just don't do it for me. I may just try your recipe and try this as my first attempt at canning. (fingers crossed). : )

You can put onions in the jar too. with the vinegar, it's acidic so you're good :-) Sounds yummy!!

Just at the beginning of the video but I was wondering if you know other ways to can or preserve beets? Any good savory recipes? Thanks!

[@carolsmith356]

Hi Leisa! Quick question on the process time for these beets! I’ve been pressure canning and fairly new to water bath canning so was double checking process times as I’m at a high altitude in Colorado. The nchfp website says to process pickled beets for 40 minutes at my altitude (30 at sea level). The recipe says 10 minutes. Which do I do? THANK YOU! Love you lots! You taught me to can!!!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Follow the NCHFP directions

[@jjo5375]

Is there a waiting period between adding the flat lid, and the screw-on lid? Or, are they both added one right after the other? Thanks! : )

[@SuttonsDaze]

You catch everything......haha I put 1/4 cup into the brine and then when I began putting the liquid into the jars I realized that some would have cloves and some would not. So I decided to add at least one whole clove to each jar in an attempt to be consistant with flavoring.

[@jjo5375]

(I wonder which way 'I'd' like it)?? I've only ever had it a salad bars. What would you suggest: whole pot placement, or individual jar placement...to find my personal preference? (I think I'll use one or the other for the first batch). Thanks for your input, Leisa! : )

[@jjo5375]

(you forgot to address my question about the flat lids and screw-on lids, my Kitchen Queen)! : )

[@myrevival4325]

General pickling question: When pickling, is it always necessary to add all that sugar? Can it be done with either none, or a replacement like honey or something and in less amounts? Thanks!

Have you ever experimented by filling the jars using a sausage grinder to make it into a sauce, baby or astronaut food? Would that step best be done in the making or before serving?

When are they ready to eat? Where do we store them?

[@nicidevine6670]

Did you grow them too ???

[@patriotchic3364]

Is the processing time 10 or 40 minutes? You said 10 but the recipe says 40. I'm assuming 10. Everywhere I've checked is 10 to 20 minutes depending on if the meets were sliced or not. I just like how your recipes come out so I'd like to do it your way. 😊

Beet looked nice and video was maybe pretty clear for someone with some experience but not so sure regards a complete beginner who I would think this is aimed at. I never heard anything much about the de-bubbling or the type of equipment used. However not a bad effort but there’s room for improvement and could have been a little better. Only 7 out of 10 due lack of clarity in some areas with this being my first attempt at canning..

[@georgehalbert7914]

I’m in the process of growing my beetroot in the garden. So, I was looking for tips on canning them up , ‘ not sure about the dogs roaming about in the kitchen though! Apart from the danger of tripping over them when moving hot pans around dogs are mucky little sods. They belong in the garden and NOT the kitchen. I liked the lesson, though. Thanks for the lesson.😜
