Step 1
Trim beet tops off, leaving 2 to 3 cm (an inch).
Step 2
Leave any roots on.
Step 3
Scrub beets well.
Step 4
Put beets in a large pot.
Step 5
Cover with boiling water. Bring back to the boil, and boil for 15 to 25 minutes -- until it looks like you can persuade the skins to come off easily.
Step 6
Remove beets from pot, and let them cool just enough to handle safely. Don't cool them beyond that; the beets should be at least warm going into the jars. The processing time is based on that assumption.
Step 7
Trim off roots and remaining stem bit, and peel.
Step 8
Leave very small beets whole; cut large ones into slices, or into 1 cm (1/2 inch) cubes. Cut very wide slides in half.
Step 9
Pack into half-litre (US pint) jars or 1 litre (US quart) jars.
Step 10
Leave 3 cm (1 inch) headspace.
Step 11
Optional: to each smaller jar, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt OR non-bitter, non-clouding salt sub. (Use 1 teaspoon for the larger jars.)
Step 12
Top up with clean boiling water (such as from a kettle, for instance), maintaining headspace.
Step 13
Debubble, adjust headspace.
Step 14
Wipe jar rims.
Step 15
Put lids on.
Step 16
Processing pressure: 10 lbs (69 kPa) weighted gauge, 11 lbs (76 kpa) dial gauge (adjust pressure for your altitude when over 300 metres / 1000 feet)
Step 17
Processing time: half-litre (US pint) jars for 30 minutes OR 1 litre (US quart) jars for 35 minutes.
