Method
Pickling Directions
- 1
Prepare the Beets
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, then place them in a pot of boiling water. Cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

Peel and Slice
Once the beets are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off and slice them into thin rounds or cubes.

Make the Pickling Solution
In a separate saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.
