1st. Yay! My mum used to pickle beetroot.
Ok. Now I'm going to have to grow some beetroot next year and try this. Maybe with carrots and potatoes (my little grandchildren love raw carrots and helping me dig up the spuds!). Might even grow the coriander for the seeds this time.😃 I've just been tossing the seeds onto my wildflower patch. Thanks for inspiration!
The BEET goes on!
nice i love beetroot
"Excellent" as Mr Burns would say .
Great video 🍁😊🤎
Looks delicious ❤
I've enjoyed both of your cooking videos. They seem like a logical extension of your gardening episodes, particularly when they involved unusual foods which your international viewers may not find familiar (like chutney and pickled beetroot). I's obvious you put a lot of thought into your presentation, which is very clear and well-organized.
Great tutorial; thank you! I’m going to try this when I harvest my beets. 🙂

That looks delicious 😋
I like the hot pack method for pickeling and use this method with recycled jars from goods bought at the store. I have had trouble though, with re using the metal lids. however… I personally like to use either Ball or Knor canning jars, because they can take high temperature, so, I can boil my jars and lids, and then, since I've got the hot water already going, put my finished jars back into boiling water with 1" over top of jar, for 10 minutes. I do pickled eggs like this quite often.
I've always done mine in the pressure cooker but roasting sounds great. Will try that too, thanks!
They look awesome, I love pickles beets, my recipe I grated the cooked beets and add jalapeños and they too are awesome, love putting some in my salads. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 👍❤️😊
Using acres of aluminium foil is quite environmentally unfriendly, uneconomic and unnecessary! Simmering in water works more efficiently and quicker.
Jars don't need sterilizing, just to be clean. The bottling process sterilises them, and you're using unsterile fingers, funnel and fork, anyway.
In this case, it's the high acid of the vinegar which is preserving your beetroot, not heat, since there's no way you peeled 100°C beetroot with your bare fingers.
The result looks magnificent, but there are a few old wives' tales in this process.
That was wonderful. I picked up so many tips to use in my own pickling adventures. Thanks Katrina
Will definitely use this recipe for next year
Я люблю свёкла! Спасибо.
I allways boil my beetroot untill it flouts when it will be cook, take it out of water let it cool then the skins just come off very easily
This was great. My garden wasn't good this year, but I can still buy some organic beets. My brother just recently asked if I like pickled beets, so I'll be making some for him.
Hey Katrina, Question we have canning jars with lids and bands that screw on. The ones you used look like the ones that come from the store with jelly or jam inside. Do these lids create a vacuum seal when they are water bathed or hot packed? This is new to me. I have not seen them here before. I love pickled beets. Do you ever add a few rings of red onion to the jar? I like the pickled onion they seem to go together. Great video so much fun. Take care bye for now
Thank you Kat! Pickled beets…The Best!!!!
