6: ,001, 8,000 ft: 14 lb.
Directions:
Quantity: An average of 21 pounds (without tops) is needed per canner
load of 7 quarts; an average of 13-1/2 pounds is needed per canner
load of 9 pints. A bushel (without tops) weighs 52 pounds and yields

size. Cool, remove skins, and trim off stems and roots. Leave baby
beets whole. Cut medium or large beets into 1/2-inch cubes or slices.
Halve or quarter very large slices. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart
to the jar, if desired. Fill jars with hot beets and fresh hot water,
leaving 1-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or
Table 2 according to the method of canning used. Table 1. Recommended
