Easy Pickled Beets
Report
Make your own tangy pickled beets easily at home!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh beets or 5 cups peeled and chopped
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar 70 g
- 3-4 cloves fresh garlic
- 8 whole peppercorns
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep and Boil Beets: Peel and chop the beets to the desired size. Add them to a medium-sized saucepan filled with water. Heat on high and boil for about 15 minutes or until the beets are fork tender. Drain into a colander and set aside.
- Prep Pickling Liquid: In the final minutes of the beets boiling, add the 1 cup of water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a small saucepan and heat over medium. Bring it to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar and cook until all of the sugar is dissolved into the liquid.
- Fill Jars: Fill mason jars with the boiled beets and add peppercorns and garlic, splitting them between the two jars. Add pickling liquid to a Pyrex measuring cup, or use the pot to pour the liquid into the jars, covering the beets completely.
- Chill: Cover and let the beets chill in the fridge for 1 hr (although pickling will start after 15 minutes). Use as a snack, side, or salad or sandwich topper!

- Vinegar: We prefer apple cider vinegar, but you can also use white vinegar or rice vinegar instead.
- Sugar: This is a lower-sugar pickled beets recipe, but you can increase the sweetness and add up to 1 cup of sugar.
- Garlic and Peppercorns: Add herbs like a bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary for a more savory touch. Or some cinnamon and cloves for a warmer one.
