Pickled Beets
Old-Fashioned Sweet and Tangy Pickled Beets in Vinegar Brine
Ingredients:
6 medium beets, trimmed and scrubbed
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 small cinnamon stick
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Directions:
Place whole beets in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 30–40 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain and allow to cool slightly, then peel the skins off and slice beets into 1/4-inch rounds or wedges.
In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Place sliced beets (and onion, if using) into clean jars.
Carefully pour hot pickling liquid over the beets, covering them completely.
Let jars cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving for best flavor. Keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
