Great Martha Stewart tip I've used for years. After you eat all of the pickled beets, in a jar, save the brine and make Rosy Pink Pickled Eggs. 1) Hard boil the eggs.and peel rhem 2) pack them in the jar with the brine 3) put into the refrigerator for several days 4) The whites of the egg will be pink and the york is yellow. 5) They are beautiful quartered or sliced in a salad. Delicious! 6) Or eat the egg whole as a snack. You can also do this with store bought Pickled Beets . My family love both the beeta and the eggs.
Not sure what caused your problem of no taste at all. Possibly they needed to stay in the refrigerator a little longer.????? Mine have always worked. Actually I just bought some farm fresh eggs from a local farmer this morning. I saved the pickle juice from some store bought specialty dill pickles. I'm going to try some boiled eggs in it. Have no idea how they will turn out, but it doesn't hurt to try something new. 😉 Have a blessed day
@@rebeccapettifer6553 stop for you is after your eggs are boiled and cooked, I run a wooden tooth pick through the eggs middle before putting in the brine and I always bring my brine to a boil and heat my jar!
I'm 63 years old. Been canning for 50 years. I Love watching others can things. Even at my age I can learn different ways of doing things. Thank you from SW IOWA.
I have fell down the rabbit hole called canning here in Britain you don’t hear much about it I’ve just ordered my first canning recipe book to help me I’ve been so enjoying your videos thank you you explain it so well 💕💕🏴blessings from Scotland 💖
Good luck! Just be sure you're using the right recipe/ canner combo, i.e. high acid/ water bath; low acid/ pressure canner. But, not to worry, your recipe will specify. 🙂
abigail irvine me too Abigail! Just bought my first water bathing canner, cannot find a pressure canner for love nor money but I hope to get one eventually. You might like to join a really lovely online support group called Preserving and Canning UK it’s a Face Book group I have been in a week and learned so much, really nice people. I’m in England,mBTW.
Lynne Gill I looked at the price for the pressure canner on amazon a bit to expensive for me but I’m getting the kilnner water bath so looking forward to using it have also the ball recipe book I don’t use Facebook so I won’t be able to join the group but thank you for replying to me 💕🏴
I'm in England Abigail and I agree with you. I bought my wife the All American 930 along with all the tools, jars etc for Christmas (to anyone thinking of doing this, the Customs duty from the US will double the cost of an item). Do you find it difficult to find canning supplies here? I bought jars from Lakeland but there's got to be a better/cheaper source. When I watch American canning videos, I can't believe how easy it is there. It just seems that we never really got into canning in the UK. Am I wrong? It was never on my radar anyway.
Oh my gosh, what heaven is this! Pickled beets, my favorite!! :) The only thing I do different is that I used the beet cooking water as the water in the syrup. It has a little flavor, but a gorgeous deep color. You can use the water for other pickling projects or in smoothies, cooking grains and rice and stuff. You can sweeten it and use it as a base for summer drinks. The color is just awesome! It would really add a kick of color added to pink lemonade. I think you could dry and powder your leftover beet trimmings. You could also use them to make kvass or borscht or beet jam. You could freeze them and add them to smoothies. You can puree them and add them to muffin or cake mixes or hummus or use it to make fresh pasta...... I love beets :)
We always used the boil water as well!! They look so beautiful!! I have never canned them when I got older...I just open a store bought can and cold pickle them in the fridge :) I am 58 and I always helped my mom can when I was younger but have never really done it myself...until this year :) my youngest son and I put in a nice garden and have really enjoyed it together ❤ ☺
Rachel, you are prettiest homestead momma on UA-cam. :) Wish I looked as good as you at my age. Lol I'll be 58 next week. Thank you for the beet canning video. I'm going to be pickling beets I grew over the winter today. I like adding the spices, great idea. 👍
Hi!!! I’m from England and my mother always taught me that you shouldn’t even wash beetroot that much. I just rinse the beets, I wouldn’t scrub them or poke knives in them whilst cooking, or they will bleed! They come out totally clean anyway when you get the skins off x
V Johnson I would cook smaller ones for 30 minutes. Larger ones for 40/45 minutes. You can also tell by squeezing them a little if unsure. You can tell that they’re done, they have a bit of give in them. Xx
Valerie Pillon beetroot will always stain. I don’t really know what happens if they ‘bleed’ I suspect that they are not as red in colour as they should be? I’ve never tried, as I was told that as a fact and followed that way way. I’m pretty sure it was a correct teaching, so went with that. Feel free to experiment if you like , but I’m sticking to traditional methods xxx
Just watching this as soon as you said south east Michigan I thought of Blocks! My family been going there for as long as I can remember (40 years). I live in northern Indiana now but still make trips there in the summer for canning! I love that place!
Man I'm jealous spent my childhood through adulthood growing up in Indiana....then got stuck moving back to Texas....God I miss up north. So beautiful. And I miss the soil and gardening in that soil.
Love canning beets they are so easy. I have canned & froze them with the skins on once scrubbed really well because you can't even taste the skin and there is so many nutrients in the skins, but if you want the skin off, as soon as you cook them for a short time in boiling water, put them in cold water and the skins slip right off with your hands. Much quicker than peeling.
Hi I like the skins on my fruits and veggies, carrots, potatoes, beets etc also. They say it’s the healthy part. So I’m leaving the skins on beets too. My first time canning beets . Thank you
Although this is a two year old video, I came across this because I wanted to do water bath canning of pickled beets. My first thought of using your scraps to make a powder reminded me of a lady here in UA-cam that uses a dehydrator to make a powder. I would suggest watching or subscribing to "RoseRed Homestead", if you haven't already. Very smart lady who taught science. She even has a video on powdered eggs.
I got a 4 burner camper stove (goes inside a truck camper) for $25 at a garage sale. Just made a little stand for it and bingo. So nice not having to hreat up the house!
I am trying your best recipe but I used 2 tsp of Ball Pickling spice. I bought a few from the farmers market and a test run while I wait for mine to pick ready to pick. I am amazed how many jars the little bag of beets I bought is making! I may have 7 pints. That's a lot to me for a test run.
I too... leave the roots and 1 inch of stem on. After boiling... drain, then dump into sink of cold water. When cooled enough to handle.. everything you dont want... slips off. I also use a hard boil egg slicer for the smaller beets to slice them uni- formally. They easily "fan" into the canning jars.. and look GORGEOUS!. ( I quick slice mushrooms with the egg slicer too.)
My grandma always made Harvard beets for me when I was a kid. I don't remember if she started with pickled beets or not, but they were vinegary and sweet in a delightful thick sauce. I've only made them a couple times as an adult but they were a wonderful treat and reminded me so much of my beloved grandma. Blessings and enjoy your beets!
Just wanted to let you know that yes, I have canned pickled beets that I roasted instead of boiling. They turned out fantastic, nice and firm too. I used Alton Brown's pickled beet recipe and everyone loved them. EVERYONE. Also, about Blocks...me and my mom used to shop there back in the 1970's and they were fantastic people, and it was a wonderful market. We live up north now, in Gladwin, so we don't go down there anymore, sadly. Really love you guys and your channel. I've learned how to do a lot of stuff I couldn't figure out by watching you (like determining how much I need to get each year for canning, and how to organize that stuff so I can actually grow my garden rather than get so overwhelmed that I sleep 16 hours a day all summer long!) So, thanks for that!
I do refrigerated pickled beets and they are also so yummy! I grew up having them on the table with every meal that way and still make them my mom use to. We use vinegar, tons or garlic, S/P and olive oil. You let the flavors marinate for a day or and put in the fridge or put them straight in there. Stays there forever seems like it 😂 I need to try to can some one day. Roasted are great too. I see no reason why you couldn’t dehydrate and turn them into powder. I do the same with tomato peels. Besides, most of the good stuff are in the skin. Make your own power booster. I take beet powder in my smoothies, yogurts etc. I buy mine but if you have the scraps that can be done easy. Go for it. Great video!
Absolutely loved this video. Very compréhensive. I also love the relationship you both have. I also had no idea allspice was a spice in its own right...I thought it was a mix. The more you know! Yours was the first canning vidéo that finally inspired me to create a canning playlist ❤
What wonderful videos and ideas you give me. But I have been using a frame that has propane tank hooked up to it on my back porch for my canning for a couple of years. It keeps the heat out of my kitchen and does not cause damage to my electric stove. Thank you for the tip on cooking the beets before peeling. I also cut the tops and bottoms off and lost a lot of my goodness. I am so sorry to hear you are not having a garden this year. You give me such great ideas.
Rachel, thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning Block's. I am moving from Detroit to Southgate, MI and I was wondering if there was a good farmer's market in the area. Prayer answered!
Yes, it is a great color on fiber. It will fade from light and washing. That is okay for some. It is best to know that so there will not be disappointment. You can also dye eggshells for Easter, and dye paper, and wood.
I love pickled beets but I also love them just boiled, add a little butter, salt, pepper and a dash of vinegar and eat them hot as a side dish with most any kind of meal. Being able to do them outside on that cooker is ideal. Y'all have a great day.
Enjoyed the video, as always. Waiting to find beets on a side road farm stand so I can do this and shelve them. Just not in the farmers market here that I’ve found. May I say? I love love love how your husband is with you in this video. So kind and sweet towards you and you towards him, in every video really. Thanks to you both for modeling this! Back to the video, I digressed! 😀 Now, I want to go look for a camper burner like you showed us. Very nice and I imagine way less heat in the kitchen as well. We have a flat glass top and even with the fan on and AC it’s miserable. Thanks again. Always an education!
Lol. I do about 3 bags of those every year. Except for the last few years I have not had health to do them. Both of my kids ask for 2 dozen jars of pickled beets for Christmas last Christmas. It took me a whole month to do and but I got them done and they were happy. Your recipes are in the bail you should be getting them tomorrow or Saturday.
I roast some of my beets..I add onion to them make a normal brine, no spices, then when I open them I drain really well add olive oil and salt and pepper and re-roast to serve warm..yummy.
We add beet root powder to Chili, soups, and broth and when canning tomatoes. I use one half teaspoon full of beet root powder per pound of ground beef in Chili. Just FYI. You can over do it. Thanks good video.
My daughter goes to the Eastern Market in Detroit. I went with her when visiting once (I live in Montana(. It was very early in the year, but man, mid season would be awesome. It's huge!
I always do the prep work and canning outside. It doesn’t heat up the house and the clean up is so much easier outside. I use a lobster cooker. It brings things to a boil real fast.
I like to roast my beets when pickling them. It concentrates the flavour. Remember that the beets continue to o cook when set aside awaiting peeling so roast to just done.
I got one of those to can on. I love it! I recently purchased the griddle to go on it and it's fabulous for large breakfasts and burgers. I love my Camp Chef.
My Mum used to put on a pair of washing up gloves to peel the beets and the skin just rubbed off. It’s a quicker process than knife peeling but it’s a personal choice.
Those cookers are used here for crab and muscle boil up parties. Use all the peel for beetroot powder. The beets, at least the beets I grow, can be peeled with just hand pressure. Squeeze the beet and it'll slip out of your hand, leaving its peel behind.
I would love to see videos on making homemade cosmetics, I have red hibiscus 🌺 & feel like I should do something w/ the beautiful flower after it's done w/ it's blossom.
I have a 3 burner camp chef. Works great for canning. So much cooler.you will love it!. Here is a tip that took me a while to figure out you must turn your propane on before you turn the burner on. If you turn the burner on 1st the propane doesn't have enough pressure to work properly.
Last year was my very first time canning. I did roast my beets until just tender but im trying boiling this year because i was hoping for a bit more tooth to them. I have never had them with cinnamon or onion though, something new to try. Thanks guys! See ya next time.
Wow I have spent today canning my homegrown beets & have just taken them down to my storage pantry- exhausted though. I wish I had one of those gas BBQ's for boiling so think I will start using our outdoor BBQ for doing the boiling, also if you cut & peel the beets while they are hot (with gloves on of course) the skin etc just slips straight off also going to try popping some onions in my next batch as I have never heard of that here. Cheers Denise - Australia
Do you know if that stove will work with presto canners? My dad has a turkey fryer, but my presto canner specifically said I can't use those as they will warp it. I would so love to can outside to keep the house cool and not have to worry about breaking my flat stovetop.
@@jeanrichards8042 Camp Chef advertising shows it being used for outdoor canning. So don't take the stoves advice here. Look for warnings & guidance from your canning pot instructions. Steel waterbath should be fine. But thin walled aluminum like many of the presto canners I would be weary. Super heavy aluminum like the All American line, should be fine.
I used to love canning outdoors. My outdoor burner died and I have not replaced it. Canning outdoors is so much easier to clean up and does not heat up the kitchen. I have a small kitchen but a big covered patio so it was ideal.
Hi Rachel, I haven’t been able to watch any videos in weeks since we live with no Wi-Fi now. At the McDonald’s parking lot and I saw your video pop up. We love pickled beets and yours are going to be awesome. Thanks for the tips and tutorial.♥️katie
What a blessing for you to have the outdoor camp burners rather than doing it inside your home where it can get really hot 🥵 especially if you have no air! I try to do canning when it’s a rainy day or late at night when everyone is sleeping 😴 which is nice because you get that time to yourself before my boys get up! Lol 😂 I absolutely love pickled beets! So yummy 😋
Try and make Beetroot crisps in the dehydrator or air fryer. Or powder with the skins. Just done my pickled beetroot today, I flavour with chilli flakes, for a little heat.The beetroot came from our organic allotment yay, and yesterday made beetroot chutney. Thanks for sharing and love your double burner cooker, saves all that steam in the kitchen. 👍😎
Beautiful beets! It is on my list too. We have used our camp chef for years and it is so nice to be able to work outside and not heat up the house when doing big batches. We even got one for our property in VA where we keep our camper and plan to retire, I can during the season there too, lol and just load it up and bring it home to the pantry.
I bought a camp stove about 4 years ago? ... for emergency cooking. It’s still sealed up in the original box. I think I will get myself an outdoor canning kitchen going!
I am from the UK. I was taught to give them a rinse, don't cut under any circumstance. Boil for 30 to 40 drain and place in cold water. Put on rubber gloves and use your hands to take skins of. Very fast and easy to get through a huge harvest 😁😁
I agree with some of the other comments. Much easier to peel if you put them in cold water then just rub the skin off with your hands. I also use some of the water after boiling. I just filter it and it is great.
Such great videos - thank you! I throw all my scraps to the deer. Had a GORGEOUS buck and doe eating at our scrap pile a few days ago. None goes to waste that way.
Hi , I made beetroot powder last week by peeling and cutting the ends off , then grated and placed on baking paper on a tray in my small oven on low . Burnt one lot 😮 otherwise others were okay . Experimenting !! Kept moving the beetroot around. Used uncooked beetroot. 😊
Dehydrate the remaining beet root & peels. Add to arrowroot ... 2-1 ratio for face powder... you can make lip balm too... I dehydrated everything, learning to can now...
Don't know what camera you're using, but if it's not a video camera, they're made to shut off after about 20 minutes. This was to not kill the camcorder industry on the arrival of digital cameras with video capability. Love the adventures you take us on in your garden!
Canon EOS M6. Shuts down randomly in the middle of filming sometimes. 1 minute. 5 minutes. Totally random. our last one did this too. And we got a warranty replacement. And now this one is starting to do it as well. I think we're going to have to just spend some money and buy a better camera.
What I like to do instead of using 4 cups of fresh water I use some of the Beet water because it gives it a nice cool red colour I know the beets will probably bleed a bit in the jar but I find the presentation a little bit better when it's nice and Rich and red. I only use cloves in my recipe but I've contemplated using allspice berries as well I'm just wondering if it's going to be super overpowering. The recipe I use says to put a couple clothes in each jar has opposed to making the brine spiced so maybe I should try making the spice brine directly..mmm I love pickled beets! Have you ever made beet jelly? My granny used to make that all the time and it was our favourite
Dutch way to handle red beets: wash roughly, roots may stay on, bad spots no biggy, some sand left no problem. Boil for 30-45 minutes. Only then clean them, very easy once they’re boiled. You can rub the skin off with your fingers, it just falls off. Slice thinly and then process further whatever way you want.
I've been using the same recipe as you for many years now. Recently took a master preserver class from my local extension office and they told me that I wasn't adding enough vinegar and was lucky that I didn't end up with botulism poisoning. You need to add 2 parts vinegar to one part water to raise the acid to a safe PH, or, you'll need to pressure cook the beets using your old recipe as if this were a low acid food.
Marilyn Petty I bet you’re the person to ask. Which is the oldest edition of the Ball canning book that you can still use? I know not to use my 1988 one. Also, Simple Alaska Living made zucchini bread in jars. That looked scary to me. Is there a way to do that safely?
I have canned pickled beets using the Ball canning book for over 45 years using equal parts of cider vinegar sugar and water. We have never had an issue. I do pressure can.
Marilyn you are indeed correct. I just checked the 2016 New Ball Book of canning and preserving and the recipe calls for twice as much vinegar as water for water bath canning.
@@marlenebennett6148 I used equal parts of vinegar and water and water bath canned beets like this for 40 years, and my mother did the same before that, and like 99.99% of everyone else, I didn't have a problem either...but....some day I may end up as that .01% and that's not a risk I'm willing to take now that I know safer practices. HOWEVER...if you are pressure canning, then that kills the botulism spore and the 1 water to 1 vinegar is fine to use
@@letarogers6380 I saw the bread in jars video by Simple Alaska, and that is absolutely not safe!!! They stored those jars in their root cellar that was almost at freezing temperatures, so that may have helped preserve it. If you are using a recipe from an old Ball canning book and your not sure if it's a safe method to use, call you local extension and they can help you. There is no safe method to can anything in an oven.

If you dip them in very cold water immediately after they boil, the skin will loosen and all you do is finger peel. So easy. Just FYI. 😉
This is the way I do it also.
Yes, I just also do this, done in minutes
Gloves on, of course!
Great tip! No gloves
Thank you for this great info!
I use both peels, stems and roots for dehydrating and grinding to beetroot powder. I'm late to your video but this was very helpful! Thank you!!!

They come out totally clean anyway when you get the skins off x
I'm in Canada and my British Grandma taught me that way too. 😊
Jackie Blakemore how do you test the beets are ready if you don’t poke them with something sharp?
V Johnson I would cook smaller ones for 30 minutes. Larger ones for 40/45 minutes.
You can also tell by squeezing them a little if unsure. You can tell that they’re done, they have a bit of give in them. Xx
If you let them bleed early, won’t that save you embarrassing stains when you break out a jar when company is over?? Or does it lose flavour?
Valerie Pillon beetroot will always stain.
I don’t really know what happens if they ‘bleed’ I suspect that they are not as red in colour as they should be?
I’ve never tried, as I was told that as a fact and followed that way way.
I’m pretty sure it was a correct teaching, so went with that.
Feel free to experiment if you like , but I’m sticking to traditional methods xxx
Yes, I have roasted my beets instead of cooking them. I roast them to knife tender. They held up well through the water bath and tasted great.
No I meant after you've pickled them have you then roasted with like olive oil salt & pepper?
Great suggestion! I got a bag of beets from Blocks, and I’m going to put some in a red cabbage slaw canning recipe. That would save me stove top room.
@@1870s-I would add some pickle crisp to a few jars I wanted to roast to help keep them firm enough to roast.

Besides, most of the good stuff are in the skin. Make your own power booster. I take beet powder in my smoothies, yogurts etc. I buy mine but if you have the scraps that can be done easy. Go for it. Great video!
They looked delicious! Gonna give this canning business a try. You have set me on fire!!!! Thank you.
Absolutely loved this video. Very compréhensive. I also love the relationship you both have. I also had no idea allspice was a spice in its own right...I thought it was a mix. The more you know! Yours was the first canning vidéo that finally inspired me to create a canning playlist ❤
What wonderful videos and ideas you give me. But I have been using a frame that has propane tank hooked up to it on my back porch for my canning for a couple of years. It keeps the heat out of my kitchen and does not cause damage to my electric stove. Thank you for the tip on cooking the beets before peeling. I also cut the tops and bottoms off and lost a lot of my goodness. I am so sorry to hear you are not having a garden this year. You give me such great ideas.
Rachel, thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning Block's. I am moving from Detroit to Southgate, MI and I was wondering if there was a good farmer's market in the area. Prayer answered!
Blocks rocks! I go there to get produce for canning. I didn’t know they carry beats. Great place for tomatoes for tomato sauce!
Lol we live 7 minutes from Block’s Farmstand and are picking up our beets today. Also, we too follow Guildebrook farms! Love them!
I always roast instead of boiling and it works really well.
She is wanting to know if anyone has roasted the pickled beets. ( After the fact)
You could use it to dye some yarn or cloth. Excellent color from those
Yes, it is a great color on fiber. It will fade from light and washing. That is okay for some. It is best to know that so there will not be disappointment. You can also dye eggshells for Easter, and dye paper, and wood.
I love pickled beets but I also love them just boiled, add a little butter, salt, pepper and a dash of vinegar and eat them hot as a side dish with most any kind of meal. Being able to do them outside on that cooker is ideal. Y'all have a great day.
That's how I like them, as well!
Enjoyed the video, as always. Waiting to find beets on a side road farm stand so I can do this and shelve them. Just not in the farmers market here that I’ve found. May I say? I love love love how your husband is with you in this video. So kind and sweet towards you and you towards him, in every video really. Thanks to you both for modeling this! Back to the video, I digressed! 😀 Now, I want to go look for a camper burner like you showed us. Very nice and I imagine way less heat in the kitchen as well. We have a flat glass top and even with the fan on and AC it’s miserable. Thanks again. Always an education!
Yes, I love Blocks!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Lol. I do about 3 bags of those every year. Except for the last few years I have not had health to do them. Both of my kids ask for 2 dozen jars of pickled beets for Christmas last Christmas. It took me a whole month to do and but I got them done and they were happy. Your recipes are in the bail you should be getting them tomorrow or Saturday.
Oh wow, thank you
Too sweet
I got the same Camp Chef cooker this spring and I love it! Two 23 qt canners fit great!
I would try making beet powder with all the skins, roots and tops.
What do you do with beet powder? I have heard smoothies.
Terri Hart I put mine in smoothies, yogurt etc
@@terrihart2133 I have bought some, and its not cheep. I just put it in a glass of water and drank it.
If you have an inexpensive capsule maker you can put the powder in capsules and use as a supplement.
I do most of my canning on that same cooker. 2 canners at once. I love it. Or if hot packing pot on one side and canner on the other.
I learned many years ago to use a long metal cake tester rather than a knife or a fork to see if any kind of root vegetables were “fork” tender.
Those look amazing. Thank you
My canner is supposed to be coming in today! Yay. Beets are one of the things I am looking forward to canning.
I grow and canned my first beets! Thank so much for your video! It really helped me make great pickled beets! I love them!❤❤❤
I have been looking for a channel like your. This is AMAZING!!!
thank you so much...you both are amazing...love you so much, thanks...
I give beet scraps to our chickens. Have you looked where the canning supplies are for Pickling and Canning Salt? That is where our Walmart keeps it.
I roast some of my beets..I add onion to them make a normal brine, no spices, then when I open them I drain really well add olive oil and salt and pepper and re-roast to serve warm..yummy.
Yeah!!!
I should add onions to my pickled beets what a good idea!!
I bought one last year and I have it on my deck,love it !
I've used the tops & roots for Jared Purre. You might want to get a basket that fits your pots, helpful when boiling up the veggies.
I use the roots and tips and skins and ferment into beet kvass
We add beet root powder to Chili, soups, and broth and when canning tomatoes. I use one half teaspoon full of beet root powder per pound of ground beef in Chili. Just FYI. You can over do it. Thanks good video.
Thanks for sharing
My daughter goes to the Eastern Market in Detroit. I went with her when visiting once (I live in Montana(. It was very early in the year, but man, mid season would be awesome. It's huge!
I always do the prep work and canning outside. It doesn’t heat up the house and the clean up is so much easier outside. I use a lobster cooker. It brings things to a boil real fast.
I like to roast my beets when pickling them. It concentrates the flavour. Remember that the beets continue to o cook when set aside awaiting peeling so roast to just done.
I got one of those to can on. I love it! I recently purchased the griddle to go on it and it's fabulous for large breakfasts and burgers. I love my Camp Chef.
Oh cool I need the griddle soon! We have a large family gathering in a few weeks and that would certainly make things easier
Just found the channel and I love it.
My Mum used to put on a pair of washing up gloves to peel the beets and the skin just rubbed off. It’s a quicker process than knife peeling but it’s a personal choice.
I use cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg... A little powdered cloves and vanilla. The vanilla mellows out the spices.
Those cookers are used here for crab and muscle boil up parties.
Use all the peel for beetroot powder.
The beets, at least the beets I grow, can be peeled with just hand pressure. Squeeze the beet and it'll slip out of your hand, leaving its peel behind.
I would love to see videos on making homemade cosmetics, I have red hibiscus 🌺 & feel like I should do something w/ the beautiful flower after it's done w/ it's blossom.
I think we have at least 2 videos on making cosmetics. From long ago.
I have a 3 burner camp chef. Works great for canning. So much cooler.you will love it!. Here is a tip that took me a while to figure out you must turn your propane on before you turn the burner on. If you turn the burner on 1st the propane doesn't have enough pressure to work properly.
Thanks for the tip!
Last year was my very first time canning. I did roast my beets until just tender but im trying boiling this year because i was hoping for a bit more tooth to them. I have never had them with cinnamon or onion though, something new to try. Thanks guys! See ya next time.
You can freeze dry them they are very good and yes you use the ends and tops
You have a beautiful kitchen
Wow I have spent today canning my homegrown beets & have just taken them down to my storage pantry- exhausted though.
I wish I had one of those gas BBQ's for boiling so think I will start using our outdoor BBQ for doing the boiling, also if you cut & peel the beets while they are hot (with gloves on of course) the skin etc just slips straight off also going to try popping some onions in my next batch as I have never heard of that here. Cheers Denise - Australia
Hey Great Minds think alike! Happy preserving
We drink the beet juice too! No sugar added yet!
Love the outdoors cooking kitchen , this to me makes sense no heating house up
Exactly!
I add a bit of beet to my tomato sauce as it cools. It darkens the color a bit and seems more appealing to me.
We love the pickled beets in a salad but I'll just snack on them they are so yummy!
First time growing beets. Just pulled only 3.5 lbs but going to make a small batch. Thoroughly enjoy visiting with you 😉
Love your videos!!! Ty
My husband bought me one of those cook stoves for canning too. I love it! I use it under a well ventilated shelter outdoors and my house stays cool.
That is awesome! First round, went great. Will have to do again, especially with the busy season coming soon.
Do you know if that stove will work with presto canners? My dad has a turkey fryer, but my presto canner specifically said I can't use those as they will warp it. I would so love to can outside to keep the house cool and not have to worry about breaking my flat stovetop.
@@jeanrichards8042 Camp Chef advertising shows it being used for outdoor canning. So don't take the stoves advice here. Look for warnings & guidance from your canning pot instructions. Steel waterbath should be fine. But thin walled aluminum like many of the presto canners I would be weary. Super heavy aluminum like the All American line, should be fine.
If the canner company doesn't recommend it, I'd be hesitant. Presto canners are pretty thin aluminum. It can warp under high heat. See answer above.
I used to love canning outdoors. My outdoor burner died and I have not replaced it. Canning outdoors is so much easier to clean up and does not heat up the kitchen. I have a small kitchen but a big covered patio so it was ideal.
Hi Rachel, I haven’t been able to watch any videos in weeks since we live with no Wi-Fi now. At the McDonald’s parking lot and I saw your video pop up. We love pickled beets and yours are going to be awesome. Thanks for the tips and tutorial.♥️katie
What a blessing for you to have the outdoor camp burners rather than doing it inside your home where it can get really hot 🥵 especially if you have no air! I try to do canning when it’s a rainy day or late at night when everyone is sleeping 😴 which is nice because you get that time to yourself before my boys get up! Lol 😂 I absolutely love pickled beets! So yummy 😋
Try and make Beetroot crisps in the dehydrator or air fryer. Or powder with the skins. Just done my pickled beetroot today, I flavour with chilli flakes, for a little heat.The beetroot came from our organic allotment yay, and yesterday made beetroot chutney. Thanks for sharing and love your double burner cooker, saves all that steam in the kitchen. 👍😎
I hope you do more videos using the outdoor stove for canning!
Blocks is a great place!
Beautiful beets! It is on my list too. We have used our camp chef for years and it is so nice to be able to work outside and not heat up the house when doing big batches. We even got one for our property in VA where we keep our camper and plan to retire, I can during the season there too, lol and just load it up and bring it home to the pantry.
Sounds wonderful! I sometimes wish I could do that at our cabin, but that would be a long drive to preserve food lol
I love beets on a green salad! Sooo yummy. 🤗
I bought a camp stove about 4 years ago? ... for emergency cooking. It’s still sealed up in the original box. I think I will get myself an outdoor canning kitchen going!
I just recently subscribed to your channel. You have been super informative. Oh and your kitchen is gorgeous!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I am from the UK. I was taught to give them a rinse, don't cut under any circumstance. Boil for 30 to 40 drain and place in cold water. Put on rubber gloves and use your hands to take skins of. Very fast and easy to get through a huge harvest 😁😁
Thanks for sharing
I agree with some of the other comments. Much easier to peel if you put them in cold water then just rub the skin off with your hands. I also use some of the water after boiling. I just filter it and it is great.
Great tip!
This answered my question about the outdoor stove. 💚✌
Glad I could help!
Very helpful. Thanks for the vid.
I think you can use the whole plant stems leaves and all to dehydrate.. watched a utube on it few days ago
They peel way easier if you keep them wet as you cool them.
I miss my Memaws pickled beets. They were the best!! I’m very intrigued with the spices on your 2nd batch!!!
My mother always used cloves they were amazing
Try some mustard seed in your recipe. My family recipe that we have used for generations also uses mustard seed two tablespoons per batch.
Such great videos - thank you! I throw all my scraps to the deer. Had a GORGEOUS buck and doe eating at our scrap pile a few days ago. None goes to waste that way.
Hi , I made beetroot powder last week by peeling and cutting the ends off , then grated and placed on baking paper on a tray in my small oven on low . Burnt one lot 😮 otherwise others were okay . Experimenting !! Kept moving the beetroot around. Used uncooked beetroot. 😊
Dehydrate the remaining beet root & peels. Add to arrowroot ... 2-1 ratio for face powder... you can make lip balm too... I dehydrated everything, learning to can now...
You can boil the scraps down and use as food coloring for icing, cakes and breads.
I mix beet root powder with cocoa powder to get the color bronzer I like.
Don't know what camera you're using, but if it's not a video camera, they're made to shut off after about 20 minutes. This was to not kill the camcorder industry on the arrival of digital cameras with video capability.
Love the adventures you take us on in your garden!
Canon EOS M6. Shuts down randomly in the middle of filming sometimes. 1 minute. 5 minutes. Totally random. our last one did this too. And we got a warranty replacement. And now this one is starting to do it as well. I think we're going to have to just spend some money and buy a better camera.
What I like to do instead of using 4 cups of fresh water I use some of the Beet water because it gives it a nice cool red colour I know the beets will probably bleed a bit in the jar but I find the presentation a little bit better when it's nice and Rich and red. I only use cloves in my recipe but I've contemplated using allspice berries as well I'm just wondering if it's going to be super overpowering. The recipe I use says to put a couple clothes in each jar has opposed to making the brine spiced so maybe I should try making the spice brine directly..mmm I love pickled beets! Have you ever made beet jelly? My granny used to make that all the time and it was our favourite
Here in Australia one beet cost 98 cents. Im gonna try to grow some. I love beets and am sure i would need 12 quarts to each year.
CUTE SHIRT!!
Dutch way to handle red beets: wash roughly, roots may stay on, bad spots no biggy, some sand left no problem. Boil for 30-45 minutes. Only then clean them, very easy once they’re boiled. You can rub the skin off with your fingers, it just falls off. Slice thinly and then process further whatever way you want.
I love this tip!
And, so do you wear gloves, or not?
I've been using the same recipe as you for many years now. Recently took a master preserver class from my local extension office and they told me that I wasn't adding enough vinegar and was lucky that I didn't end up with botulism poisoning. You need to add 2 parts vinegar to one part water to raise the acid to a safe PH, or, you'll need to pressure cook the beets using your old recipe as if this were a low acid food.
Marilyn Petty I bet you’re the person to ask. Which is the oldest edition of the Ball canning book that you can still use? I know not to use my 1988 one. Also, Simple Alaska Living made zucchini bread in jars. That looked scary to me. Is there a way to do that safely?
I have canned pickled beets using the Ball canning book for over 45 years using equal parts of cider vinegar sugar and water. We have never had an issue. I do pressure can.
Marilyn you are indeed correct. I just checked the 2016 New Ball Book of canning and preserving and the recipe calls for twice as much vinegar as water for water bath canning.
@@marlenebennett6148 I used equal parts of vinegar and water and water bath canned beets like this for 40 years, and my mother did the same before that, and like 99.99% of everyone else, I didn't have a problem either...but....some day I may end up as that .01% and that's not a risk I'm willing to take now that I know safer practices. HOWEVER...if you are pressure canning, then that kills the botulism spore and the 1 water to 1 vinegar is fine to use
@@letarogers6380 I saw the bread in jars video by Simple Alaska, and that is absolutely not safe!!! They stored those jars in their root cellar that was almost at freezing temperatures, so that may have helped preserve it. If you are using a recipe from an old Ball canning book and your not sure if it's a safe method to use, call you local extension and they can help you. There is no safe method to can anything in an oven.
Thank you
