Pickled Beets Ingredients

Method

Pickling Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Combine and Store

    Place the sliced beets into a clean glass jar. Pour the hot pickling solution over the beets, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

  5. 5

    Let it Pickle

    Allow the beets to pickle for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before consuming to develop flavor.
