Pickled beets !

Hi,
In my garden right now we have an abbundance of beets so I have been making pickled beets to eat fresh and to cann so I will share the rescipe here.

Pickled Beets (my Moms recipe)
1 tbls. corn starch
3/4 tsp. salt
1tbls. & 1 tsp.sugar
2/3 c. water
1/4 vinager
2 c. cooked cubed or sliced beets ( boil beets whole with a bit of the top and the root on so they wont loose thier color, cook about 2o to 35 depending on thier size. Then easily slip off the skin and cut up the way you choose.)

Mix cornstarch and sugar and salt in cooking pot, then blend in the vinegar and water. Bring to boil and cook one mintue stiring. Add beets. Serve hot or cold.

This recipe can be made big for canning. To prepare for canning I made this mixtuer but did not add the beets , I put the beets in the jars and then fill them on up with the vinager mixture.Then put on the lids an process hot water bath for 30 min.s for quarts. For cannning the beets do not need to be fully cooked, boil about 15 to 2o min. just to beable to slip the skins off.

If you have any questions , please leave me a comment and I will get back to you soon.
I will share my rescipe for dill pickels soon. I made my first batch of those for this year on Firday. We all love dill pickels here and can eat alot!!
Have a great day! Mae
