Cover with clear hot wa- ter; partially seal the Jars and boll them In a water bath for one hour con- ttnuously, counting from the time the water bolls again around the Jars. Do not allow cold water to touch the beets after they have been cooked. If beets are packed tn tin the cans used must be Inside-lacquered. Beets 1H inch in diameter and over should be cut or sliced before packing Into Jars.
