Pickled Beets Recipe

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs fresh beets
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: A few cloves or a cinnamon stick for added spice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beets:
    • Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off the leaves and roots. Boil them in water until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain and let cool. Once cool, peel the beets and slice into thin rounds or wedges.
  2. Make the Brine:
    • In a saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the whole peppercorns, cloves (if using), and garlic.
  3. Jar the Beets:
    • Place the sliced beets and onions into clean jars. Pour the hot brine over the beets, ensuring they are completely submerged. Add a cinnamon stick to each jar if desired.
  4. Seal and Store:
    • Close the jars tightly and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 48 hours before consuming to enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy your pickled beets as a side, in salads, or as a part of your favorite dishes!

Pickled beets can last for several months in the refrigerator, making them a convenient and tasty addition to many meals.
