Pickled Beets Recipe 🫙❤️
Ingredients:
4 medium fresh beets
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns (optional)
2–3 whole cloves (optional)
1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the beets
Wash the beets well and place them in a pot. Cover with water and boil for 30–40 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Cool and peel
Drain and let them cool slightly. Rub off the skins using your hands or a paper towel.
Slice the beets
Cut into rounds, wedges, or cubes—your choice.
Make the pickling liquid
In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
Pack the jar
Place sliced beets (and onion if using) into clean glass jars.
Pour the brine
Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the beets until fully covered.
Cool and refrigerate
Let cool completely, then seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating for best flavor.
Tips:
Tastes even better after 2–3 days.
Great with salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
