My Polish Mom's Canned Beets Recipe

This canned beets recipe was passed down from my Polish Grandmother to my mother who was a first generation Polish American. This card is from circa 1970. You'll need a large basket of beets, a large pot, canning jars, vinegar, sugar, and a sharp knife. Beets are a good source of fiber and my Babcia stored hers in a root cellar.

How To Can Beets

• Wash beets and cook until soft.
• Peel off skins and cut into pieces.
• Prepare the following
• 1 cup of vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup of sugar

Repeat this until you think you will have enough sauce.
Put the sauce into a cattle with the beats and bring to a boil.
