I am a sometimes successful 75 year old city gardner. I love pickled beets. Thank you so much for this recipe. ❤️ When I Grow the beets and harvest them or find beets at a price I’ll pay for them I’ll use your recipe. I will use gloves for this job though😅 I will use gloves for taking off the peels and cutting them up. Do your hands get stained a nice purple color? How do you get rid of the color on your hands if they get stained purple? Thanks for showing us how and including your moms recipe. I hope to use it this year, when beets come in. How wide is your metal bowl at the top. There are lots of different sizes to those bowls and I want one the same size you use. Thank you. So are you going to make another batch of these.= 12 pints for you this coming year- 1 pint a month?
I am definitely making them this year. I usually give some away to family. I like to have a minimum of 8 jars. More is always good! lol. My hands didn’t stay purple. I used some Dawn dish soap and it came off pretty easy! I’m not good with gloves. I will have to watch to see what bowl I used and report back lol. I love this recipe so much! Thank you for watching 😊
@@pikecreekfarm me too! I definitely need more. I planted seeds and nothing ever came up and I think it’s to late for a fall beets in NJ. I’m not sure. I’ll have to look that up again lol
The sugar is for flavor, not safety so you could cut back. They will be very “tart” with no sugar. Add an equal about of vinegar and water to make more brine. Thank you.
I’m wondering about safety, I’d like to omit the salt and most spices, and use only clove and cinnamon. Would that still be safe, also could I use a little less vinegar?
