Canned Beets

I realize canned beets are not nearly as exciting as Pickled Beets, but I'm also optimistic that my offspring will enjoy smashed beets next year before they're in season. Since I plan to make most of our food for our baby, I figured beets were a good starting point.

Boiling water

Wash and drain beets. Cook beets, and submerge in cold water to peel. Slice, dice or leave beets whole.

Pack beets into hot jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Ladle boiling water over beets, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process pints 30 minutes or quarts 35 minutes in a steam-pressure canner at 10 lbs. pressure.
