Steam Canning Pickled Beets

We purchased 25 labs. of beets from Azure Standard and did half as regular pressure canned pints and half as pints of pickled beets shown in this video. They turned out fantastic! Because of the vinegar in the recipe, we were able to steam can them, which produced clean jars and no siphoning.

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 😊

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

[@DawnDBoyerPhD]

I just tried canning beets for the first time - I oven baked them first, then second batch just boiled them. I used the boiled egg method and put the beets in ice water and the skins just slipped off. Then I put each beet in a 'french-fry' cutter and it slide them right through like soft butter. Then stuffed them in jars and pressure canned them (after adding the vinegar and salt and sugar solution) for 30 minutes. I don't eat them so had to rely on husband to taste test. He said they tasted 'just like store bought' - so it was a success!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Congratulations! Very creative! Thanks for sharing.

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

[@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.

I am wondering if the low pH of the brine penetrates the beets during processing to lower its pH, or how does that work? I notice that some salsa Ingredients have a pH above 4.6. Does acidification lower the pH of those foods during processing making them safe?

[@bartlettpairs]

Hi Pam. Great video. Quick question, can I use a pressure canner but not use the jiggler so it doesn't raise pressure? Thanks

Probably--be sure to raise the jars above the level of the water.

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?

Hi Mrs.Pam, I have been watching your videos for some time and I'm learning so much, Thank You! I have a question about canning. I have noticed some canners who use pre-canned tomatoes for making salsa and canning their own salsa. I've also seen a few who use pre-canned fruit to make their own Jelly. I am very new to canning. I've purchased the USDA book you recommended, and just got one of the Electric Pressure Canners you reviewed data; for my Birthday. Is this something that is safe practice? I can't find data on this practice except for a few Bloggers who say it's totally okay and safe. Thank you again for all of your videos. Your teaching style is exactly what I crave as a homemaker, because I trust your opinions greatly. I pray you're continually Blessed for all the hard work and efforts you give us.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

One of the things we have found is if you are canning commercially canned foods (tomatoes, carrots, corn...) the possibility is that they will become mushy and the texture and taste will be different that if you use fresh from the beginning. Thanks for watching our channel. Jim

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]

[@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!)
