Steam Canning Pickled Beets

[@kburke3849]

My favorite way to get beets ready to peel is in the oven (400 degrees). I put them in a roasting pan with a half inch of water, cover tightly with foil and roast for about 20 minutes. Turn oven off, let rest for 20 minutes then remove from oven and let cool until you can handle them. So easy.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That sounds like a great way to do it! Thanks for sharing.

I love pickled beets! I grew up with pickled beets on every holiday table. My Mom was a huge believer in the best pickles are made from the tiny baby beets. We grow beets- but, they don’t reach maturity. I follow mom’s procedure and tie all the spices into a piece of cheesecloth. Pickled beets in a sandwich 😊

[@wendyneal4900]

Oh! I love pickled beets too, but I’m not good at growing beets.😢. What is your favorite sandwich with pickled beets?

[@pagirl913.]

Yep, I’m a Pa Dutch area gal and we had them at holidays also….even had them at regular dinners too….along with pickled eggs! 🙌🏼😋

[@pagirl913.]

@@wendyneal4900I love them with sliced pickled eggs on bread with Mayo salt and pepper!

[@S.Kay.Steffy]

I love pickled beets so will be making these. I get most of my ideas on what to try from you because you make it looks so easy (except for the peeling of the beets 🤣). Your visitor from next door is beautiful… he wanted to see what was “cookin”!

[@gwenp3450]

I think the visitor was guarding the beautiful beets!

[@bethrichardson5998]

I have lots of pickled beets on the shelf.. absolutely love them.. I also did a case of plain beets for my mom, she like them plain and then makes them into Harvard beets.. I used my Geoffrey Zakarian mandolin to slice mine.. also wore gloves.. they are a messy job but the end results are so delicious .. Your neighbors dog is gorgeous.. Great video thanks ⚘️❤️ ⚘️

So Pam, you steam canned in two different pots? One is the official Harvest Brand Steam Canner and the other is a plain old deep pot with a vented lid? Same amount of water in each vessel? How much water in each pot? Thank you!

[@denisewalsh9873]

I cut the beets and onions and put them in the jar, then pour the hot liquid over. It works very well

[@juliewatson2281]

If you had beet juice left over, couldn’t you use it in a borscht type soup?

[@ScentSational35]

Can I use 50/50 Allulose and white sugar for the beet pickling solution? I've heard both answers from different website and I feel confused. I am working to decrease the amount of white sugar we eat. Thank you, from AZ

[@alpetterson9452]

Hello RoseRed Homstead. Enjoyed this video very much. Have you ever heard/made what we call 'Piccalilli' in the UK? Pickled vegetables with a kind of mustardy sauce. It's very good.

[@lindab2144]

Great job, Pam. I love beets pickled or plain ones. I think the neighbor's dog was looking for a treat.

[@beverlyreynolds5686]

Thank you for this!! Every once in a while a video will pop up if someone doing something that you have canned before. So always curious to see what some of the people did. So a lady only processed her for 15 minutes. I have never processed pickled beets for 15 minutes. We lived in Idaho and I always did them longer. Now that I’m in Florida I will do them for 30 minutes

[@dianeiverson3727]

I don’t know if you will see this, but I just watched a video about turning commercially canned beats into pickled beets. I have cans of beets that I would love to turn into pickled. Since they were already cooked, I’m assuming she lowered the processing time to 10 minutes in the water bath. I do see USDA says 30 minutes. Your thoughts?

[@sewcanned946]

My granny made the best pickled beets. She was known for the best chow chow and pickled beets. I’d love to have just a bite of that chow chow today

[@jet8485]

I have a question. I want to pressure can plain beets. I have boiled them. Cooled them. Peeled and sliced them. Now I read in the USDA guide you have to put HOT beets in the jars. Is it realy necessary? If so, how do I reheat them. I am afraid they will bleed heavily because I already sliced them. Is there another solution? Maybe pressure can them a bit longer? Please help. Anyone. 🙂

[@tibbs4000]

The german shepherd looks like a good boy. Just coming for a visit.

[@pansyvaughan5624]

I've only knew that once cooked put into cold water and rub the skins....they slide right off You dont loose anything from peeling

[@verawol3111]

? Can I peel and slice the beet raw and put them raw into the pickling solution for 20-30 minutes. Then steam can? I did this for a quart jar that I put right into the refrigerator for eating right away.

[@kathygarner419]

Pam, you often talk of emergency preparedness. Do you have a faraday cage to protect some of your electronic devices against EMP pulses. How to construct one might be a good video to do. We recently had some solar activity that triggered an aurora borealis type event from solar corona eruptions that could be seen at many locations worldwide. Many people are unaware that our own sun can emit EMP pulses strong enough to ruin electronic devices and most of us have a house full. Almost all the things we use daily contain computer chips. I am sure many people are unaware of this grid down situation that could take months to recover from. Not trying to scare anyone just trying to inform. Could you address this grid down situation?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is a great idea. I have toyed with a few ideas on how best to do that. I will add that idea to my growing list for future videos.

[@CAMDEC1217]

Great video, thank so much. I love beets. Is it safe to pressure can raw beets? I canned some before with cooked beets but they lost all their color and were a bit mushy. Would it be safe to pressure can them raw if I chop them up into cubes vs whole or big slices?

[@robertl6819]

Could you have put some peeled hard boiled eggs in with the beats in the jar, right before steaming them?

[@kittyrichards9915]

Can you steam can everything that is safe to water bath can?

[@organicmumma]

Yes, as long as the processing time is under 45 minutes. Here is an information guide for home steam canning from the University of California: anrcatalog.ucanr.edu/pdf/8573.pdf

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi Pam. They should come off after you cook the beets. I always put mine on cold water after they are cooked. Mine always take way longer than 20 minutes.. anyways great video. We love pickled beets. 🇨🇦❄️

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks for the tip! Jim

[@carolhinson8779]

I was just wondering if you pressure can beets can you use just water to canned them in, when you water bath or use a steam canner you have to pickle them with vinegar and spices, right?

[@tiffanyguynn8852]

Gotta do what you have to do. I love beats but no one else in family will touch them. Sometimes I just get some and make on the side. Turnips also, but if I make stew, they eat it all.

Hi Rose: I couldn’t find your email so I am asking here; I accidentally ordered 3 large cans of tomato sauce (each can is 105 ounces!) my question: can I safely put the contents into quart jars and water bath? I am in Houston so we’ll below 1000 ft elevation. Should I add any thing to the hunts plain tomato sauce before canning? Thank you!!

[@annieanderson6112]

I know a lot of people that recan things. I would so I didn't lose all that paste or if u don't have room in ur freezer for that much. I would add I believe its one teaspoon of lemon juice to the jars before canning. Good luck.

[@ktexas001]

Thank you Annie

[@traci6728]

I tried beets once and scrubbed well and peeled but to me they still tasted like dirt. Could someone please tell me why

[@pattijesinoski1958]

After boiled properly, you must put them in room temp bathe water to peel. I do not put them in ice water. That just makes it more difficult to remove the skin. Then use a chopper, while still very warm, to very small chop them, add ghee to serve. (PS. Just remember beets will change color of BM to more red to realize you are not passing blood. Just as you realize when you eat asparagus, bm will turn more green! Enjoy! Both are fantastic! As well as very healthy!)

[@lindagreenwell2242]

I think I would try an apple pealer. No clue if it will work, but I would try it!

[@carolswitzer5451]

I don’t have a problem with the skins on beets. I put them in a pot fill with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife inserted into the beets come out easily. They peel very easily. Sorry they were a problem today. Also if the beets aren’t cleaned very well they will taste like dirt. Love all you do. Thank you.

Red beets lose color whether or not they are boiled with the stem. That said, there is a big difference in color after they’re canned. When I boil them without the stem, after a few months, they look “anemic” in the jar. They taste the same but my pickles aren’t as pretty.
