As long as the top of the container has the same dimensions as the bottom, then the readings will be accurate. I've used a straight sided bucket and even an old fish tank.

Hi Puddleduck We just boiled the beets till cooked, rubbed off the skins, sliced them, dropped them into clip top jars, filled these to near the top with Sarsons pickling vinegar, job done.

Hello and Welcome from a fellow newbie in very damp Gloucestershire

I stand corrected, SWMBO did just rub off the skins - I got it wrong.

But so glad we didn't mess up by using cold vinegar.

Thanks everybody for the feedback

Newbie question

We have just done some pickled beet, using Sarsons pickling vinegar but we didn't heat the vinegar first. Have we messed up?

We did cook, peel and slice the beets though.

WW

Just added this to our "Got to give it a Go" list

Thanks for sharing
