Not at all, not much of the heavenly aroma at all.

Well, then perhaps you shouldn't cook them at all. 30 minutes of
processing the filled jars in boiling water should take care of that.
The beets will be cooked in their pickling liquid. Maybe process for a
bit longer, just to make sure they are soft enough.

Nonsense! You can get more and I have posted the sources 13 days ago.

Use commercial beet juice. I can get it easily in bottles or
Tetra-paks, in fact I have a couple of Tetra-paks right here. You can
get it, too. See, for example,
