  • Inspect 4 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until relish is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Combine beets, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
