Instructions
- Simmer the beets in water - 20 minutes for small beets, up to 40 minutes for large beets. Drain.
- While wearing a pair of rubber gloves, gently rub the beets to remove the outer skin. Slice the beets into 5mm (¼") thick slices.
- Simmer the vinegar and spices together gently for 30 minutes, then allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Strain the vinegar to remove the spices and place in a clean pan. Add the sugar and bring back to the boil.
- Place the sliced beets in a clean, hot, sterile jar. Pour on the hot vinegar to almost fill the jar.
- Put on a sterile lid, close tight then allow to cool before labelling.
