Apparently it lasts around 3 to 4 month before the taste goes sour because of the vinegar it absorbs. you could try other recipes with it, you can try roasting them whole and eating like a root veg - no idea how that tastes though :D

Roast beetroot is wonderful. There are thousands of beetroot recipes if you look them up, not just good old pickled.

And it is very good for you!

I pickled some last year and to be honest it was so good it didn't last that long. Used Delia Smith recipe and it was wonderful.

We cook them and freeze them, ready for use until the next seasons crop.

Thanks. Will try roasting them but not convinced it'll be good.
Must take 2or3 jars for my 94 yr old uncle in Worksop tomorrow.

Its is really nice Hank...suprising I know but check out Delia

wonderfull roasted along with other root vedge

It's delicious roasted but also if not too big I really like it grated raw as part of a salad. And have you thought of soup?

Nigel Slater recommends roasting golf ball sized beetroot wrapped in foil. They are very nice - a bit earthy, perhaps?! Good with other veg, though - I like them more than I expected to!

Try roasting them in the same pan as butternut squash and a couple of crushed garlic cloves. Add cashew nuts near the end of cooking as well if you like them. I don't care much for beetroot normally and was surprised how nice these were.

I make a few chocolate beetroot cakes, especially as I can't stand beetroot. But the taste is lost in the cake, but they are ever so moist and they go down well with friends too.

Anyone else beginning to feel hungry?

Chocolate and beetroot??? I would never have thought to put those together lol

I'm just spoilt for choice. Yesterday I was looking for recipes and found one for roasted balsamic beetroot which looked good as I've just bought a bottle of balsamic and haven't a clue what to do with it !
Thanks very much guys. ( this includes the ladies of course.)

A drizzle of balsamic on strawberries is very good, if unlikely!

Chocolate, beetroot and balsamic vinegar ! Can't wait !

Lol!!
