In fear of a visit from the health and safety police for reccomending picking up a hot beetroot a knife is the best option. Loss of colour is minimal. As for lenght of time I would give a couple of weeks for the beetroot to take in the flavours and once opened keep refrigerated and covered with the pickling vinegar, they will last an age like that.

I was told you must be careful not to prick the skins whilst boiling as all the juice will run out - is this true ? I suspect not given what you say about checking them with a knife. Also what's the minimum and maximum time they can can be left. Thanks in advance Rod MC
