How long do you boil beetroot before pickling?

Answer 1

1. Clean the dirt from the beet root. 2.Trim the leaves leaving about an inch (this will ensure you do not cause the beet to bleed). 3.Simmer for about 20 mins then remove from the heat. Drain the water and allow to cool. While your waiting for your beetroot to cool bring to the boil enough malt vinegar to cover. A lot of people use spices in the vinegar but a prefer 2 tables spoons of sugar. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool a little. Slice your beetroot and put into a clean jar. pour over the beetroot. Simple....enjoy on crusty bread with matured cheddar

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the beetrot; small ones about an hour, large ones up to two. Don't cut the foliage nor tap root off the beet, just twist off the tops leaving about an inch of stems.wash the soil off and just cover with water in a large pan. Bring to the boil, and keep at a steady boil for up two hours (keep checking and adding more boiling water as necessary). Drain off the water and allow the roots to cool until they can be safely handled. Rub off stems, roots and skins (if they don't rub off easily, it hasn't been boiled long enough). if pickling, slice, then cover the sliced beet with salt. Pack into jars (not squashed!) cover with vinegar and seal.
