How to Can Pickled Beets

PRINT the recipe: bit.ly/2Es80rD
I’m not here to debate beetroot, more commonly called beets. They’re delicious and anyone who thinks otherwise has not had them prepared well. I mean, have you have a roasted beet?!

------------------------------
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar (or honey)
- 2 tsp salt
- 3-4 lb beets (I prefer dark red for these)
- 2 cups sliced onion
Instructions:
- Start by washing beets. If using homegrown, make sure to leave the root on and cut the leaves to within an inch of the beet.
- Place in a large kettle and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let cook until tender. They’re ready when a knife is easily inserted with just slight resistance. Since beets vary in size, they may take varying times to cook. Remove them individually as needed.
- When cooked, drain (remove from water), let cool, and remove skins using a knife and gloves to prevent staining. Slice beets into bite-size pieces, 1-2''. Set aside.
- Combine all the brine ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer on the stove.
- Also start a large kettle filled with water on high heat, fitted with a rack in the bottom. This will be used for a water-bath.
- Using sterilized jars, slice onion to taste and place in each jar. Then fill with sliced beets. Top sliced beets with additional onion, leaving about a half-inch of headspace in the jar.
- Bring brine to a hard boil and fill each jar with the brine, leaving a half-inch of headspace.
- Clean the top of the jars with hot water to remove any debris and drips.
- Following the manufacturer’s directions, place lids and rings on jars, being careful not to over tighten (this can cause lids to buckle).
- Place prepared jars in boiling water bath, making sure water covers jars by at least one inch. Bring back to a boil and process for 30 minutes. Adjust time according to altitude.
- Remove jars from the kettle using a jar lifter and let cool completely before touching. Soon the lids should seal with a ping - music to a canner’s ears!

I'm harvesting my first beet crop from my first attempt at gardening up here in Montana and your video is precisely what I was looking for. Informative, precise, and easy to follow...keep it up, it's much appreciated!

Love pickled beets and so enjoy your videos! You make cooking look so much fun.

[@nancyanderson5306]

Your video takes me right back to my childhood helping my mom do the canning every summer. Skinning the beets after they were cooked was always my job and I loved the feeling of the skins coming off.

[@MsMegil]

So glad to have recently found your channel. I love pickled beets and this certainly bring back memories. Adding to my seed order for next year.

[@joannenardoni17]

I rode my bike in Ragbrai, it was fabulous. Your Iowa is so beautiful. I would live there too. I saw sun rise over the corn fields at early am. Your so lucky to be there with your farm, and flowers. Love it all.

[@dianasanchez7026]

I love your kitchen. Bet your grandma would too. I bet she is so proud of you.

[@kathiparshall8094]

I love the fact that you don't use sugar. I didn't know you could use Honey in canning...I am stocked.

[@tigerlilyofthevalley3815]

I just love this so much. I'm southern, and I feel like my best friend is telling me how to pickle. Thank you! Also, I love your pretty, tidy kitchen!

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

love pickled beets on beef stew yummm

[@angeltobit878]

I like your recipe than others. I’m glad I found your method because it is a simpler method that looks delicious. In one of Dr. Oz’s Show, he had a guest expert who said that Beets are good for brain memory.

[@cbzombiequeen58]

Great job, I dont want sugar either. I am trying for a whole plant based diet, no process foods.

[@lucillechiusano1231]

Caleb, do you have a baked beans canning recipe? Or any baked beans recipe? Would love for you to do a video on that.

[@Joseph_Dredd]

Huzzah - no processed sugar. Honey!!! :) Thanks for a great educational video.....everyone seems to use Sugar(and lots of it)

[@wildwoodskimberlynewworldd5282]

Damn I love your setup and I love that you learned from your granny

[@janicenatale6188]

Beautiful!

[@gwenb4531]

I love pickled beets and yes I do think it is a mid-west thing.

[@taylorshomestead3934]

Awesome precise instructions! Question: you said process 10 minutes, your written recipe says 30 minutes. Which is it?

[@anitacolotto9282]

Easy 2 😉remember, this recipe!!

[@stephenburns3678]

Thank you

[@claudiawhite9772]

Ok this was exactly how I use to do my pickling except the sugar then I saw another beet pickle videos-of yours it’s sugar and different vinegars & changed it , now you’re back to my own original recipe!? Am confused🤷‍♀️ Also in my culture my mom pickles everything uncooked & beets also raw cut in slices with vinegar salt garlic brine!

[@teranewton14]

you are a gem

[@magapickle01]

M building commercial kitchen soon and just saw you water faucet over the stove ! Never seen that before ! Did you build and design your place ? Or add to it ?

[@keziahreed6187]

Do I have to buy these bottles with 2piece lids Or can I use any other glass container with airtight lid

[@JC-nz1om]

Just used your original post this weekend...canned our 2nd batch of beetroot

[@alyssapeters6271]

I've never tasted a good tasting beet, yes they taste like the earth, to me like dirt. 🤣 I haven't had them since I was s child. I'm willing to taste some but only if they don't taste like a mud pie. I believe beets are high in nitrogen? which is supposed to be good for your blood? am I correct? I don't know. my doctor advised low nitrogen content as it is believed to be a trigger for headaches and migraines. love the method of canning, love learning, love Kaleb and the infinite knowledge. I'm going to try some beets, maybe my adult tastes have changed.

[@keziahreed6187]

The other video didn't have this 2and part of boiling it in the glass jar again?

[@jo-anndigennaro9137]

😋 Yum pickled beets

[@evadeanu1]

Love this recipe. And you are adorable

[@amberluttrelll8359]

I love pickled beets

[@phillipsmom6252]

Yummy

[@Clarinda787]

Would pink Himalayan salt and stevia for sweetener work?

[@tammyrexroad8020]

Yummy ❤

[@eagle4god373]

My beets were up out of the dirt a little-they look a little brown-dry-on top. Are they still ok, meaning worth going through the effort or not?

[@robhuntsman9800]

No one else's recipe comes close to this one...Your original recipe called for 2 cups sugar....which I still use. How do you find this recipe's end result compared to your original recipe?

[@philipforee]

try apple cider vinegar. Thanks for sharing! Great video

[@mm-yt8sf]

i liked beets as a kid but probably as a carrier for mayo (blush) :-)

[@elizabethbalbin8091]

great recipe but doesnt the vinegar killed the good/beneficial bacteria ?

[@ChristineAnneMay]

What about adding horseradish?

[@jacquelinedoud3912]

Are these sweet? I like the sweet ones not so much the others. Love your videos though, I can't believe I haven't seen you before.

[@chrisgoucher536]

Hi! Great video, and used for our first beet canning. Question… most water bath canning recipes suggest 30-35min in the final boiling water bath for the actual canning, but some others (including yours) say 10 min… we used the 10 min like yours because I didn’t read the others and ‘official’ ones (canning company books etc)… so, since you are still doing video (LOL) 10 minutes must have worked, but why the large discrepancy in times? There is quite a difference between 10 and 30-35min (safety).

[@chrisgoucher536]

I would say based on the site’s guidelines I will be using 30-35min next time. We put our 6 pints in our extra fridge more or less right away after they cooled for 24hr nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/pickled_beets.html (Apologies for weird copy/paste formatting from the table) Table 1. Recommended process time for Pickled Beets in a boiling-water canner. Process Time at Altitudes of Style of Pack Jar Size 0 - 1,000 ft 1,001 - 3,000 ft 3,001 - 6,000 ft Above 6,000 ft Hot Pints or Quarts 30 min 35

[@WyseGuide]

Hello! Yes, I am still alive 😉. You are correct to always check with the USDA canning guide. Honestly the best case in point is this. I always say in the video and post to check in case I do have a discrepancy. This is a time where my family has always used 10 minutes. The canning guide updates periodically and at some point was updated to 30 minutes. This could cook the beets to be more soft but it is the guide that should be followed. As to why you see various times around the internet, not everyone uses the USDA guide as they should.

[@chrisgoucher536]

Thank you, and I did not mean anything by my comments FOR SURE…, just wanted ask and above all be safe. We love your videos and want to try so many - so keep it up… you definitely have fans! Contemplating your hot pepper mustard with my ripening hot pepper crop this year! PS so glad you got my humor on the still doing videos… that was fully meant as a joke…and you got it, so often stuff can get lost in type! Thanks!

[@lorenazamor2939]

Hi friend I like all your videos they're very interested your friend from asheville NORTH Carolina hope you understand what I write because my language is Español thanks 😊

[@TerriMagoo]

Oh YUM!!!😊

[@TerriMagoo]

I love watching you do your thang here

[@TerriMagoo]

I’m doing this the second I get beets !! Thank you 😋

[@lacro5686]

In your video you show using only one tbsp of honey, however in your ingredients list it's 2 tbsp?

[@rickylion2891]

Beet juice, stain is very fragile. A drop of dish soap easily cleans hands and utensils. Please do more vegetable dishes!

[@oceanhome039]

Place the hot beets in cold water and peel underwater. Skins slip off

[@tamisonne2519]

Can I cook the beets one day and cut them up and can them the next day?

[@iowanne]

so, instead of sugar you just used 1 Tablespoon of honey? Sounds like a much more healthy recipe. Thanks!

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

👁👁 👏👏

[@Joseph_Dredd]

You re-use the rings..really. Isnt this a NO NO? But this would make sense as back in our grandmothers day such rings surely were not widely available and stuff was recycled properly..

[@magapickle01]

You wrapped in foil and baked at 400 yet? Skin peels right off without water taking away the good stuff . I can about 200 lbs of beets once a week and add jalapenos . I make a product called Beet n cowboy z . It's jalapeno cowboy candy that I added the beets too and use honey instead of sugar

[@robertareason7299]

I stopped to watch because I'm making pickled beets for the first time. For what it cost to make against buying is another reason to make my own. I'll have enough to last a year and give see to family.

[@sarajean1861]

Your beets are so big& Beautiful 😍
