PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.

• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

BEET AND HORSERADISH RELISH

Steps:

• Cook beets until tender. Run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel; grate finely. Combine grated beets and horseradish.
• To prepare pickling liquid, combine vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spice in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil 1 - 2 minutes. Remove spice bag. Combine beet mixture and pickling liquid in saucepan. Return quickly to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Spoon into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a narrow rubber spatula or plastic knife. Add additional relish, if required, to maintain headspace. Wipe jar rims thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Seal and process in Alberta for 25 minutes in a boiling water bath.

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F/200 °C.
• Take 1 large piece of foil and wrap the beets tightly together, sealing the foil well. Roast for 1 hour or until tender. Remove the beets from the oven and leave to cool in the foil for 20 minutes this will give the steam time to dissipate and will prevent any steam burns.
• Cut the cooled beets into thin slices, and then into thin matchsticks, then chop into fine pieces. Add the vinegar, sugar, celery seed and salt to a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Mix the corn starch with 1 teaspoon water and whisk into the vinegar. Simmer until thickened and remove from the heat.
• To a bowl add the beets and pour over the warm vinegar, mix well.
• Allow to sit at room temperature before refrigerating. Transfer to warm, sterilized jars ** see note.
• If not canning, the relish will keep for up 2 weeks sealed and refrigerated.

SIMPLE ROASTED BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add peeled, cubed beets to a medium mixing bowl along with avocado oil (see notes for oil-free option), salt, and cumin.
• Roast beets for 35-40 minutes, or until fork tender and slightly golden brown / caramelized, tossing once at the 20-minute mark to ensure even baking. The longer they bake, the more tender and caramelized they become, but be careful not to overcook / burn, or they can become crispy and tough.
• Once roasted, add back to the mixing bowl from earlier and season with maple syrup, lime zest, and lime juice, and mix. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, lime zest for citrus flavor, cumin for smokiness, salt to taste, or maple syrup for sweetness. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
• Use immediately (on our Roasted Plantain Black Bean Bowl!), or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. If the beets get dry in the fridge, add a bit more lime juice or a dash of water or olive oil before serving to make them saucier. Not freezer friendly.

PICKLED BEETS RECIPE

• Trim off tops of beets, leaving 2 inches of stems and all roots. This will prevent the beets color from bleeding while processing.
• Wash well, rinse and drain.
• Sort for size, separating larger beets from the smaller ones.
• Fill a large saucepot about ½ full of water, bring to a low boil over medium-high heat.
• Add the larger beets first, let cook for approximately 15 minutes.
• Add the medium sized beets, let cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the small beets, let cook for 5 minutes.
• Drain the beets and DISCARD THE LIQUID.
• Let beets cool, cut off the roots and stems, slip off the skins.
• Slice beets into about ¼ inch slices.
• Peel and slice the onions into about ¼ inch slices.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar and fresh water.

CRANBERRY AND PICKLED BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Bring vinegar, water, and sugar to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries have burst and mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in beets and cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

ROASTED SWEET BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. For the tomato purée, halve the tomatoes and place them, skin side down, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt, garlic, and olive oil. Roast for 1 hour on the bottom shelf of the oven, then remove. Press through a sieve or pass through a food mill to remove the skins and seeds - you'll end up with about 1 1/4 cups of intensely flavored purée.
• Meanwhile, put the beets into a baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast, above the tomatoes, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (longer if necessary), until the skins are blistered, blackened, and loosened. Let cool a little before peeling. You'll find the skins will slide off easily. Coarsely grate the beets (a food processor makes this job easy).
• Put the sugar, vinegars, onion, and horseradish into a large saucepan; bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for a couple minutes more. Finally, add the grated beets and cook for about 10 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal with vinegar-proof lids (see pp. 21-22). Use within 1 year. Refrigerate once opened.
• P.S.
• It's easy to pickle horseradish root. Just grate enough fresh root to fill a jam jar, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar, top up with cider vinegar, and seal with a lid. Use in sauces, dressings, and soups, and serve with roast beef.

GREAT GRANDMA'S PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Cut off the leaves and the root end of each beet and wash off the dirt.
• Put a very large stockpot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
• While you're waiting for the water to boil, cut the beets into uniformly sized chunks, especially if the beets vary a lot in size. You'll peel them after they are cooked because it's so much easier!
• While the beets are cooking, tie the spices into a piece of cotton cloth. In a medium-large pot, put the water, salt, sucanat, and vinegar. Place the bag of spices into the brine and bring to a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Cook the beets until they are tender. Test for doneness by poking them with the tip of a knife. Drain off the cooking water. If you like, save the water to add to smoothies. It will keep in the fridge for a week, or you can freeze it.
• Next, put the beets in a sink full of very cold water. The skins should slip off pretty easily, but a few beets are more stubborn than others. Cut out any woody parts of the beet and discard them.
• If the pot you used to cook the beets is deep enough to accommodate a quart jar with an inch or two of water covering the jar lids, you can use it for the hot water bath you'll use to process the beets.
• Rinse out and refill the pot with water and bring it to a boil again while you cut up the beets into pickle size pieces, which is entirely up to you! I like to add a tablespoon or two of vinegar to the hot water bath. This cuts down on lime deposits on the jars.
• Fill each clean quart jar about 1/4 of the way with the pickling brine. Then add the cooked, peeled, and cut-up beets to each jar. If needed, add more brine, so the beets are covered. Leave an inch or two of space between the beets and the lid of the jar.
• Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the rim of the jar before putting the canning flat and ring in place. Screw rings on snugly by hand on each jar.
• Place the filled jars carefully into the hot water bath, making sure there is at least an inch of water covering the lid.
• Bring to a boil and keep the water boiling for 15 minutes. Slowly lift each jar out to the boiling water with a jar lifting tool. Set each jar gently on a cooling rack or thickly folded towel to cool completely, undisturbed! No touching!
• The lids will each make a satisfying "ping" sound as they seal. If any of the jars do not seal, keep them in the refrigerator and eat them first! See how easy that is?
