Pickled Beetroot from the Patch

Not much time spent in the Preserving Patch kitchen this weekend but while I was doing some more digging in the vege patch this morning, I thought it was a good time to pickle some beetroot. The start of daylight saving always brings with it thoughts of summer salads and I'll need that patch of dirt where the beetroot are growing soon enough. So into the pot went 4 beetroot, boiled until they were tender, sliced and then covered in a vinegar spice mix. I am going to keep it in the fridge in a Fowlers bottle, not because I am planning to preserve it, but just because there is not a lot of room in the fridge!
