to do the overflow method, which you would need to for beetroot, use need seals and rings, not lids.

They are still in the ground at present only 12! plants, when I am in town I will check out op shops, and supermarket for jars, seals, and bands.

I have used the jam jars, just remember to use them over the next few months. After all we buy pickle in those types of jars.

Overflow the liquid, and use your jam jar lids.I promise you they seal as good as gold, and golds pretty good right now

I pickled some asparagus, the other day. I used jam jars, filled them with well washed raw asparagus, added some salt, spices, vinegar water, 50x50 mixture, then cooked them in a water bath for 15 minutes. Well pleased with them.
