Step 5 - Cook the beets. Put similar sized beets (hopefully, they're ALL of a similar size so they take the same time to cook) together with enough boiling water to cover them and cook until tender (usually about 30 to 45 minutes in an open pot, or 10 - 15 minutes in a pressure cooker).
Cook. Ready In. 1  Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. 2  Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. 3  If beets are large, cut them into quarters. 4  Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel. Bring to a rapid boil. 2  Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids. 3  Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. 4  Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. 5  Leave a 2 inch space between the jars.
