03 - Cover it well and pop it into the fridge for 6 to 12 hours to soak up the vinegar.

# Notes:

01 - Tip: To cook raw beets, place them in a baking dish with a splash of water, cover tightly, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 60 minutes depending on size. Check they’re not sticking, adding extra water if needed. Once cooled slightly, peel the skins off.
