Preserving a fall harvest is an experience like no other, and every home chef should try canning at least once.  Dad&#039;s Canned Pickled Beets is the perfect place to start, because their very easy to can. No fancy equipment needed for this one! They&#039;re sweet, vinegary, and fork-tender; these beets will keep you smiling all winter long!

Dad's Canned Pickled Beets

beets, (boiled until fork tender, cooled and skin removed (see notes))

white vinegar

water

sugar

Once the beets are boiled and cooled, follow the peeling and cutting directions in the notes section.

Next, prepare the brine by adding the vinegar, water, and sugar to a sauce pan.  Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil.  Stir occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.  Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer.

In the meantime, prepare the jars by following the instructions in the notes section.

Use a canning funnel to fill the jars with the prepared beets. A canning funnel will help to keep the rim of the jars clean which will help to guarantee a better seal.

Ladle in the brine, leaving at least 1/4-1/2 inch head space.  Remove the funnel and place a warmed, sterilized seal on the jar, followed by a ring.&nbsp; Tighten just until snug.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Using a jar lifter, place the filled jars back into the large pot of boiling water.&nbsp; See notes.&nbsp; Bring back to a boil.&nbsp; Once the water is boiling, start a timer for 20 minutes.

Using a jar lifter, carefully remove the jars and place on a kitchen towel where they will not be disturbed.  As the jars cool, you’ll hear a popping sound.  This is the hot liquid and air in the jar cooling down and contracting.  This will create an air-tight seal and will allow you to store your beets for future consumption.

For best results, I recommend allowing the jars to sit undisturbed for at least 12 hours.  With a damp cloth, wipe down the jars, re-tighten the lids, and store in a dark, cool place.  These jarred beets will last for 12-18 months.  Lastly, if you notice that a jar has not properly sealed, simply refrigerate that particular jar, and eat them within 5-7 days.

Use a handheld blender to blitz the mixture in the pan, then add the beans and bring back to a simmer for a further 10–20 min until the beans are soft. Set aside.

2 Meanwhile, to make the rosti, put the grated potatoes, squash or pumpkin and carrots into a large bowl. Pour over 8 cups boiling water and stand for 10 min.

3 Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and cook the onion for 15 min or until it turns sticky. Stir in the flour and cook for a further 2–3 min. Transfer the softened onion mixture into a large clean bowl.

4 Drain the grated vegetables, then, using your hands, squeeze out the excess water. Add the vegetables and thyme to the bowl with the onion mixture.

5 Put the tempeh (or ‘ham’ or ‘bacon’) in a bowl with the paprika and stir to coat well. Spray a small non-stick frying pan with oil and fry the tempeh, ‘ham’ or ‘bacon’ over a moderately high heat for 5–10 min until browned and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside.

6 Heat the oven to 120°C/fan 100°C/gas ½. Spray the same pan with oil and return to the heat. Scoop tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and flatten with a spatula. Fry in batches for 5–6 min on each side until golden. Put the cooked rosti on a baking sheet and keep warm in the low oven while frying the rest.
