Let me know how you get on with boiling and adding sugar. It will be interesting to see if this does make a difference. Kind regards Sara @ farmingfriends Hi Eric,

Perhaps if I used boiled malt vinegar with sugar it might be allright. Eric Hi Sara

Did you boil the vinegar before you put the beetroot into it as I have read that cold vinegar can cause a scum on the beetroot. Also have you added anything else in with the vinegar that could have reacted with the vinegar? I have recently set up a free forum with a section on food http://farmingfriends.com/forums/forum.php?id=6 and I will post your question on there and see if anyone else has come across this problem. Kind regards Sara @ farmingfriends Hi Eric,

I usually heat the vinegar because I add a little sugar and that reduces the vinegary taste. Obviously when adding sugar I need to heat it to dissolve the suagr. I am experimenting with different sorts of vinegars and trying them old or warmed up with hard boiled quail eggs. Thank you for your question. Kind regards Sara @ farmingfriends Hi John,

I like to add sugar and so warm the vinegar to dissolve the sugar. I am experimenting with pickled quail eggs at the moment and I am putting them in different sorts of vinegar with different herbs and spices and some I am warming the vinegar and some I am putting in cold. I will let you know if there is a difference in taste. Kind regards Sara @ farmingfriends Hi Rod,
