Default Storing Beetroot


"Roger Tonkin" wrote in message

Having more beetroot than normal, and given the cold
weather promised, I was wondering if you can store
beetroot as per other root veggies like carrots,
swedes etc.

My inclination is to lift, trim the leaves off to
about and inch, the store in frost proof garage. Any
disadvantages?

I seem to recall alternate layers of sliced beetroot and onion in something
like a sweet jar which was filled with vinegar. There may have been some
sugar involved to "sweeten" the beetroot. This preserve was consumed at
Xmas.

Perhaps someone can fine tune the hint I've given.
