Does my Beetroot look okay?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

I pickled it sometime last year and I've just found a half eaten jar. The colour is a bit... funny. Is it still okay to eat? I have 3 other unopened/forgotten jars hiding in a cupboard somewhere, will they be alright?

Beetroot is never OK to eat.

I really wouldn't risk it. I read a novel once, forgotten the title, where someone died from botulism after eating home bottled beans, and I've been wary of home made preserves ever since....

No I wouldn’t eat anything from a jar that had been opened sometime last year, has it been kept in the fridge? Your other jars may be ok though if they were sealed tight enough.

I wouldn't risk it. If you've got an unopened jar that's probably all right but that slice looks like something I would gift to an evil MIL.
