    Canning Beets 
    8/26/2015 at 11:46 AM
    It's getting to be that time of year again, and I was wondering if it's possible to raw pack beets when pressure canning. Everything I find online says to hot pack, but I find veggies get really soft when I do that.  
     
    If anyone has done this, can you tell me how long you processed it for (I'm assuming longer than the 30-35 minutes for hot pack).

    We boil the beets for two to four minutes (depending in the size of the beet) before slicing for pickling. I pack the jars with the beets, add the hot brine and water bath for 20 minutes. They have stayed crunchy as long as we didn't over cook them first. Hope this helps!
