I can hardly walk by the fridge without grabbing the pickled beet jar and a fork. I am and have been addicted to beets since I was a child. I can go through a jar in a couple days.
I should have weighed them, but I had a very large stainless steel bowl. I typically make the syrup for one recipe and then can my beets that I grow, and if I need more I just make more syrup. If I dont have enough beets and more syrup then I just freeze the syrup until I grow more beets. if you are making this recipe I would probably buy 2 or 3 bunches of beets. Hope that helps
I use a few layers of cheese cloth for the spices tied off with string in my beet brine. Tea bags you're using are also a very good if a person can get them. Beet jelly is one of my fav's! Thank you for sharing. ❤
I am planning on planting a few fruit trees. But wondering what would be best here. We are in zone 7 a. So we have late freezes. A lot of our trees just die. But every once in a while one makes it. And we have soooo many deer on the property. We have to fence in all the trees or they eat them. The young trees.
You get alit more chill hours in 7a than I get in 9b… so i would check with your local nursery but I think if I lived there I would look into planting Bartlett Pear (cant grow here by me), Cherry, apple and santa Rosa plum. Good luck!
Not sure which one you are referring to but here are the spices I added to the spice bag: Cinnamon Sticks to taste, 5 bay leaves, 2 TBSP Mustard Seed, 1 TBSP Allspice whole, 1 TBSP Coriander Seeds, 1 TBSP Peppercorns, ` TBSP ground ginger, 1 TBSP dehydrated dill, 1 tsp whole cloves - put that in a teabag For the Liquid: 2 + 1/2 C Apple Cider vinegar, 2 C Sugar, 1 Cup beet water and the Spice bag listed above. Hope that helps 😍
I read online that you can process onions in the canner with vinegar brine that is 5% acidity, so I think that would work.

Thanks for the tip! Yes I am planning to make that Jelly 😍later today.
Just found your channel. Really like it. So I am a new subscriber. Love me some beets.
I sprinkle a touch of cloves and about 3x as much cinnamon into my brine. Just gives it that little something
Sounds yummy!!
I grew beets for the first time this year. Can't wait to can them. Were these water bathed or pressure canned? Thank you for sharing the recipe :)
Pickled beets are water bath canned from the vinegar
