Beet jelly is made using the beet water drained off of boiling beets for pickled beets. The jelly is one of our favorites! Peeling the beets before boiling them is a little bit of a pain, but it makes for a better tasting jelly.
Beet Jelly
4 c. beet water
1/2 c. lemon juice
1 package dry pectin
6 c. sugar

2 c. sugar
1 c. water
1 c. vinegar
beets, washed & peeled
Boil beets in water until tender. Reserve water for jelly. If beets are small, leave whole, otherwise quarter, half, slice or dice as desired. Place beets in clean pint jars. Bring brine ingredients to a boil and pour over beets in half-pint jars leaving 1/2" headspace. Process 30 minutes in a water bath canner.
