How to Freeze Beets

Ingredients

• 1+ bunch beets

Instructions

1. Trim the greens off the beets, but don’t cut into the beets.

2. Place beets in a big bowl of water to soak and loosen soil. Scrub each beet clean.

3. Sort beets into small, medium and large beets.

4. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add your largest beets first and begin boiling. 5. After 10 minutes add the next sized beets, and so on.

6. When beets have boiled their recommended time, pierce a few with a fork to test for tenderness. (The fork should push to the centre without much force).

7. Move the boiled beets into an ice water bath to cool them and stop the cooking. 8. Cut the top and tail off the beets. Remove the peel which should slip off very easily by just rubbing the beets. You can also use a knife. 9. Cut beets to your preferred size, cubes or slices are best. (Optional)

10. Ensure beets are completely cool. Warm beets mean condensation and ice crystals in your freezer bags.

11. Place cold beets in freezer bags or containers, remove as much air as possible and seal. Be sure to label your container. Freeze. #howtofreezebeets #beets #growyourownfood #cooking #homecooking #fyp #gardening #greenhousegardening #garden #foodie
