Post by: adam apple on July 15, 2009, 21:22:46
Sorry about this folks.

How do you pickle beetroot.
I remember me nan doing it and her saying you tear the leaves but leave some stalk otherwise they will bleed.
Thats all i remember.
I love beetroot so could someone be ever so kind and explain it to me.

thankyou

Adam try cooking the beetroot in the oven in a baking tray half filled with water and covered with tin foil. They are much sweeter that way and you can stick a fork in to the to see if they are soft enough, about 40 mins at 180.

The vinegar you use is white vinegar.
