Beets white looking

9 years ago

I'm canning some pickled beets. I left the tops on like I was supposed to but they still bled out I guess. They taste fine but I guess they are not as nutritious. Is it because they are late in being dug up? The very first ones that I did were perfect...earlier in the summer. I thought that I cooked them too long but they are cooking about 45min to 1 hr. Any ideas?

How long of a stem did you leave? I've had them 'bleed out' if I cut the stems too short.

Agree that you need to leave more stem but I also find that late harvest ones tend to bleed out more. The texture has turned more fibrous so it doesn't hold the color.
