Pack the sliced beets into the canning jars. This is called "hot packing"! Pack the jars fairly tightly, but be sure to leave ½-inch of space at the top of the jar. That is called "headspace" and is needed for expansion during heating in the water bath. Shown are Weck canning jars which are made of thick glass to withstand boiling and sterilization. Glass lids are immune to rusting and can be used to process again and again. Since the lids are made of glass (as opposed to aluminum) there is no BPA coating that is found on metal canning jar lids.
