I used the USDA recipe for pickled beets - this version seasoned with cloves and cinnamon - back in November. When I grabbed a jar last week I noticed that some of the sliced beets were not fully covered with liquid but had edges up into the head space. I know there was liquid over the beets when they went into the water bath. Thinking about it I probably over packed the jars. Some of it is probably shifting of the contents as I moved it to the shelf in the basement.
I opened a jar and it looked and smelled fine but I still was wary so the whole pint went down the garbage disposal. There's five or six more jars down there.
Am I being overly cautious?
Am I taking my life (and my 3 year olds life) in my hands by consuming these?
