Directions

-            Sterilise both the jar and the lid. Use a dishwasher (on the highest setting), or alternatively - wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly with boiling water.
Give the beets a scrub. If you’re using conventionally grown beetroots, it’s best to peel them.
Slice the beets into chunks or rounds - the exact size and shape doesn’t matter. Place the pieces tightly in a jar, squeezing garlic cloves and all the spices between the beets.
Finally, pour the water in, enough to cover the beets fully. If you’re using salt, add a teaspoon of it, close the jar and shake it a few times.
