Beets are coming like crazy. They are extremely large this year. I picked six and that filled 11 pint jars.
I boiled, peeled and cut up in large junks the beets.
In the bottom of each jar placed a bit of onion and a cinnamon stick.
The brine was 2 cups sugar, 2cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon cloves, a large pinch of whole allspice, a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. Heat until all the sugar is dissolved. The house smelled divine!
Pack the jars with beets and pour the brine over the top, leaving a half inch of headspace.
Water bathed for 20 minutes (high altitude)
I did manage a walk, then to the store get new glasses and chicken feed.
Oh and picked spinach and washed it for a salad.
peace
