1 kg Beetroots, peeled and sliced

Place the beetroots in a glass jar and cover with 2 litres of lukewarm (boiled) water. Place a slice of whole meal bread on top to speed up the process of pickling. Tie a piece of gauze on top of jar and leave to stand in a warm place. After 4 to 5 days remove the froth. (Use to make borsch and cold borsch)
