    I've enjoyed both of your cooking videos. They seem like a logical extension of your gardening episodes, particularly when they involved unusual foods which your international viewers may not find familiar (like chutney and pickled beetroot). I's obvious you put a lot of thought into your presentation, which is very clear and well-organized.

    Ok. Now I'm going to have to grow some beetroot next year and try this. Maybe with carrots and potatoes (my little grandchildren love raw carrots and helping me dig up the spuds!). Might even grow the coriander for the seeds this time.😃 I've just been tossing the seeds onto my wildflower patch. Thanks for inspiration!

    Watched your video with interest as I am growing beetroot this year with the purpose of pickling my own. Have watched a few videos on pickling beetroot some from allotment holders and your video was the first video in which the beetroot were roasted, the others all boiled theirs, so yours was of added interest, also some added half of individual small peppers to the jar, rather than chillies to the mixture, others added neither.
    It was interesting that you showed beetroot with a cheese cracker, as this afternoon I had cheese on toast with beetroot and tomato. Placed the beetroot on a slice of buttered toast, sprinkled the grated cheese over the top, then placed tomato slices on top of the cheese, placed it all under grill until the cheese melted. Lovely.

    I like the hot pack method for pickeling and use this method with recycled jars from goods bought at the store. I have had trouble though, with re using the metal lids. however... I personally like to use either Ball or Knor canning jars, because they can take high temperature, so, I can boil my jars and lids, and then, since I've got the hot water already going, put my finished jars back into boiling water with 1" over top of jar, for 10 minutes. I do pickled eggs like this quite often.

    Thank you so much for such a fantastic tutorial as I've made jars of Apple, Pear and Ginger chutney and Blackcurrant Jam this year but I do find that the jam especially tends to become mouldy. Your helpful advice is a game changer 👍

    • @532bluepeter1
      @532bluepeter1 11 місяців тому +1

      I have been making jam for years and never had mould. Are your jars clean? Did you sterilise them in the oven?
      Sterilise the lids in Milton fluid.
      Only handle the jars with an oven mitt. Put hot jam into hot jars and screw the lids on tight with oven mitts on.
      That is what I do and I have never had mould.

    Color-coordinated gloves when harvesting the beets. Today I started the final harvest of tomatoes. I got the plants through a short cold snap in October, then we had warm and sunny weather. But now a major cold front will bring below freezing temps for several nights.

  • @532bluepeter1
    @532bluepeter1 11 місяців тому

    I have been making jam for years and just use recycled jars from jam, pickles, olives etc. etc. I sterilise them in the oven from cold and often leave them in for as long as I am making the jam. I fill with hot jam and get a vacuum seal every time without a problem.
    Also Subeto is the sweetest beetroot variety.

  • @theressomelovelyfilthdownh4329

    I always just twist the leaves off, and throw them in the compost. They won't bleed, but you will get some purple staining on your hands.
    I have a lot of beetroots to lift very soon. I'm still getting over pickling a crazy amount of gherkins. That's with giving fifty of them away to people in the street one week when it was all getting too much, lol. Twelve plants, and three good cropping verities, is way too much for a single person. Thankfully, a lot of people I know prefer them to cucumbers. So I was keeping half the street in gherkins all summer, lol.

    Hey Katrina, Question we have canning jars with lids and bands that screw on. The ones you used look like the ones that come from the store with jelly or jam inside. Do these lids create a vacuum seal when they are water bathed or hot packed? This is new to me. I have not seen them here before. I love pickled beets. Do you ever add a few rings of red onion to the jar? I like the pickled onion they seem to go together. Great video so much fun. Take care bye for now

    Hi Katrina. Great channel it makes me miss my old allotments. I live over in Beeston, Nottm & wondered if you know anyone in the local area in the garden trade that could help me with some garden design please? I only have a smallish back garden that I've developed over 10 years. I've decided to use my large potted tropical plants from my front garden to give the back garden more structure & a better layout. I am struggling to come up with plans & to decide on choice of materials etc. I am happy to pay an experienced gardener for a few days of consultation. Thanks Mike
