What each ingredient does
- Beets
- Form the main body of the dish and supply its sweet, earthy flavor and color.
The step that matters
Seal the jars while hot. Pouring boiling water over the beets and sealing the jars while hot helps drive out air. As the jars cool, the contents contract and a vacuum seal can form, which keeps the jars closed.
