Great video, short and to the point. Nothing worse than needing to sit thru a 15 minute prelude of the person talking about this and that. Thank u!!!

[@ntxg]

Thank you Mich! This is one of my favs! Love our beets

[@maxsands3861]

Straight to the point, thank you for not wasting time. I have a whole bunch of beets in my garden that need to be harvested and I'll be using your recipe.

[@ntxg]

YAY MS....so glad you enjoyed. I just made another batch not too long ago! Super yummy. Thank you for watching! Jill

[@GERTY59]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ~ NO ADDING A BUNCH OF STUFF YOU DON'T NEED THAT TAKES AWAY THE TRUE FLAVOR OF THE BEET ~ JUST USING THE ONIONS! ~ THIS IS TRULY THE OLD FASHION BEET BRINE I WAS LOOKING FOR! ~ THANK-YOU SO MUCH and GOD! BLESS YOU ♥

Ok girl, I’ve “attempted” to watch several videos. Yours is the ONLY one that got to the point, was specific and easy to follow. Thanks for not bagging on about non related junk. Honestly, I so appreciate you not wasting time with chit chat. I subscribed, liked, and rand the bell.

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed; simple ingredients, easy to make, and right to the point. :)

[@ntxg]

You are so welcome!

[@trevor5290]

Straight to the point THANK YOU and subbed! Just a question. I've got 20lbs of beets to process & some recipes call for 30 min boiling. WHY? I'm getting confused LOL. All those recipes even have more vinegar. Yours is the kind of recipe I was looking for. Not too vinegary and no extra spices. Thanks. Marianne.

[@ntxg]

Ohhh that’s a long time! You’ll love this recipe! Thank you for supporting us

[@bethallen507]

O you do not know what you have just done for me!! I have looked an looked for the way grandmother pickled her beets!! We lost her 14 years ago and this is something she canned every year she was able for just me an her. We were the only ones who love them. I can't grow anything at all.😁😁 I can buy them thought. Like I said you have no idea what you're sweet video did for this ole country girl. I thank you from the bottom of my ole ❤. It's crazy how food memories are the best memories ever. Well at least for me. So a very humble heart felt THANK YOU!! Have a blessed day and life.😘😘

[@ntxg]

Awe Beth...I am so glad! I just made another batch last week. Turned our delish. Maybe you can get a small raised bed and plant some in the fall! Super easy to grow gal. You have a blessed day and life. Be safe. Jill

[@bethallen507]

O honey I have killed 🌵!! No joke!! It's a running joke in my family. 😆 I do not have a green thumb at all. 😆 So I do better buy the stuff I want to can or freeze. But knowing how to do the beets is AWESOME!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@mitchellfrost9987]

Made these on Friday and tried the bottle that didn’t seal today, very good but very sweet, I think I’ll tone down the sugar next time! Thanks for the recipe

[@ntxg]

Oh yay Mitchell! Thank you for watching!!!

[@tarawerner4271]

Couple questions: Have you ever used cider vinegar instead? Google says it’s ok to substitute but I was wonder if I should increase/decrease sugar or salt since it does taste different than plain white vinegar. Do you have to use canning salt or is coarse or table salt ok? Also, after the jars have sealed, do you remove the rings before storing? I’ve seen others do that and not sure why they do it…maybe just to reuse the rings? Thanks for showing the steps plain and easy, it’s my 1st time canning by myself 😳

[@ntxg]

You can, as long as it’s 5% acidity. No change in measurement. I remove rings. The whole purpose of removing the rings is to make sure that your jars have sealed if you leave the rings on you may never know whether it’s sealed or not. Thank you so much for watching.

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

To save some time, dump hot water off of beets, put thoses HOT beets into cold water! You are using gloves so just start rubbing those beets! The skins just "SLIP" right off! Put in a bowl or pot. Then quarter or cube! Proceed with your recipe. Try a brine with about 10 whole cloves and a small Cinnamon stick in it. You can wrap the spices or strain the brine! It sells like Hotcakes at the Farmers Market! GOD bless

[@ntxg]

Hi Rita!!! Thank you lady for the tips! I will try that in my next batch! Appreciate you watching us😀

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

@@ntxg Just make sure that you cook them long enough to make the skins slip. Leave about 1 inch of stem end and the tape root. That way, while they cook, they won't "bleed" out their nutrients into the water! You will love the speed of this! GOD bless

[@ntxg]

God bless you too lady❤️

[@tinainnca]

I really want to pare down the sugar. What do you think is the least amount to get away with?

[@ntxg]

Hidy, I’m not sure you can gal, sugar also acts as a preservative in this❤️✝️

[@kimberlyguimond4186]

I only use a tablespoon of sugar. And a pinch of salt. Nothing is going to spoil in that vinegar.

[@Bingoye]

Two cups of white vinegar, sugar, water, 1 tablespoon of salt. Thank you.

[@ntxg]

Super yummy

[@Bingoye]

@@ntxgI did today. How many days should I wait?

[@mikehuber6005]

I noticed that you added some onion "for some heat". I also add a couple of whole cloves per jar. Just watched all your canning videos - quarantined ;)

[@ntxg]

You rock Mike! I have beets coming this year, I will try the clove...sounds really good. Are you quarantined or shelter in place? I hope you are okay!

Hi MH! How are you! Yes they turned out really good. How bout you guys?

[@robertbird3086]

I just watched your beet canning video. Do have a Question , Have you ever eaten your beet tops. Great sauteed in butter with garlic or onions, which is the way I love them ... As much as i do the Beets... Ninette Bird- The Caribbean Wife

[@ntxg]

Hi Ninette...NO I havent but they sound delicious!!! Have some in the ground now and if they produce, I will surely try. Keep those handy hints coming, I love them!

[@artbyadrienne6812]

Yes, the beet tops are great tasting and have more nitric oxide than the roots. This is what gives you energy. I snip them throughout the growing season and use them in soups and salads. I grow Lutz's Salad beets and they have big tender leaves.

[@richardshort4587]

@@artbyadrienne6812 Great idea, we have about 60 beet plants with huge beautiful green leaves and red stems at the moment. Could you tell me where to cut them off from or do you snap or pull them off and what preparation do they need thanks. Cheers

[@artbyadrienne6812]

@@richardshort4587 I just clean and cube them like I was making soup and freeze. Have a great week.

[@georganavaira1719]

Hi can I use balsamic instead of white vinegar?

[@ntxg]

I’ve never done that. But I’m not sure it would be properly preserved if you did. You would probably need to keep refrigerated.

[@thomaspaulson3833]

Awesome video thank you! About how long would you say they will last on the shelf?

[@ntxg]

Years!

[@27grgr]

Outstanding information. Thank you very much.

Hi Lee. I won't hurt if you go that long. Let me know how they turn out.

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

Depends on your elevation, check with the National Center for HomeFood Preservation, they have free recipes and the USDA recommendations.

[@wendybatchelor764]

Beets will come off your hands unlike turmeric

[@allenhollen6364]

Can you put raw Garlic in the beats instead of onion

Sure!

[@wildboystv3013]

Why do the jars go into boiling water with beets in them?

[@ntxg]

To make them shelf stable

[@georgeflintstone4058]

Thanks ;) and God Bless You and Yours too !!! yummy

[@artbyadrienne6812]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. Cold is moving in tomorrow and I have to pull my beets and needed some way to preserve them. I'm dicing & freezing some for future veggie soup. 🥘

[@destinybryner7267]

Just found your channel looking for canning beets. It's a great video, I had to subscribe. One question, after you boil the beets do you cut the skins off or do they peel off like tomato skins?

[@ntxg]

Hi Destiny! Thank you! You will need to peel, they are thick skinned and will not peel but boiling makes it easier!😊
