Pickled beets

Wash beets with metal scour pad

Boil beets in giant pot (I used my canning pot) for 60 min

Place beets in a sink of cold water then use gloved hands to peel them. 

Start boiling water in the canning pot and start the canning lids in a pot of water on medium heat. Place jars in the oven at 200 to sterilize them. 

Chop up beets into bite sized pieces.  

Boil:

5 cups vinegar

5 cups water

5 cups sugar

Bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat. 

Use canning funnel and put the beets in the jar followed by the brine you just boiled.  Leave 1/4inch space from the top of the jar.  Seal with lid and rim then boil in the canner for 20 min. 

I canned 30 lbs of beets and made the brine twice.
