Zubereitung von Beet Jam
- Wash and peel 2 pounds of beets.
- Use a food processor, meat grinder, or grate the beets until finely shredded or pureed.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the beet puree with 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, partially covered, and cook until beets are very tender (approximately 30-40 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add 3 cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon. Stir well to combine.
- Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens and becomes clear, approximately 40-50 minutes. Use a spoon to check for setting – a small amount drizzled onto a chilled plate should wrinkle slightly when pushed with a finger.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Remove from heat and carefully pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for best shelf stability).
- Yields approximately 3 quarts.
