How to Preserve Beetroot
Beetroot is a nutritious and flavorful root vegetable that can be enjoyed in many dishes. Eating fresh beetroot is a great way to get all the necessary vitamins and minerals, but if you want to enjoy them year-round, you'll need to preserve them. Here is a step-by-step guide to follow for preserving your beets:
- Harvest the beetroots from the garden at the optimal time. Ideal harvest time is around late summer and fall when the beets are still young and tender.
- Remove any dirt or debris from the beets using a brush. Don't wash the beets unless absolutely necessary; the extra moisture can cause them to become mushy while they are being preserved.
- Cut the beets into desired sizes, such as chunks, slices, or cubes.
- Prepare a brine solution in a non-metallic container by combining 2 tablespoons of table salt for every pint of water. Then stir until the salt has completely dissolved.
- Stuff the prepared beets into wide-mouth jars and cover them fully with the brine solution.
- Seal the jars tightly and store them at room temperature for 6 weeks before transferring them to the refrigerator or a cold storage area.
- Enjoy your preserved beets throughout the year in soups, salads, juices, casseroles, and any other dishes you wish to include them in!
