Marinated Beets for Winter
Description
A winter preserve made at home. Marinated beets for winter storage are a very original way to make your canned goods both attractive and delicious. In truth, I love beets and try to cook them as often as possible in as many different ways as I can. That’s when the idea for this preserve came to me. I add quite a lot of ginger to the jars because it gives the beets a distinctive sharp kick, but you don’t have to add it—experience tells me you can do without it just fine. I was very pleased with my culinary invention. I make it all the time and recommend you try it—I think you’ll like it ;) Store in a cool, dark place.
