Bottling Beetroot
I gathered up the last scraggy beetroots from my summer garden and bottled them today. I preserved the main crop about a month ago. These were the ones that weren't big enough then. They still haven't grown much but needed to come out of the ground. I buy beetroot from the vege shop all year long, boil or steam it, slice it and keep it in apple cider vinegar in the fridge. It comes in handy as an extra veg for most meals. Come next spring I'm going to grow a main crop of beetroot for bottling and will aim to cultivate a years supply. They are so very easy to bottle. Here's how.
Preserved Lemons
There is no great mystery to preserving fruit. All it takes is some fresh unblemished produce, preserving jars, lids and seals. I have been preserving fruit more than twenty years and have never sterilized my jars. Never had any problems with bad food either. I simply give the jars a thorough wash in hot soapy water and then a good hot rinse. If I had to do all the sterilizing business I'd never do any bottling. I just don't have the time and it becomes too much of an ordeal. Yesterday I preserved lemons. Here's how I did it.
