Ingredients
- 3 pounds red beet about 8-9 medium beets
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Cut stems off the beets, rinse, and scrub clean. Roast (see above for details on roasting) or boil, skins on, for 25-40 minutes (depending on size) or until soft. After cooked through, allow to cool until beets can easily be handled.
- While beets are cooling, prepare the brine by combining vinegar and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- When beets are cool enough to handle, remove skins and cut into slices.
- Gently pack the beets into pint sized jars (will fit into about 3-4 jars) and ladle vinegar mixture/brine into each jar until beets are covered.
- When beets have cooled completely, add lids, and refrigerate. For best results, allow beets to set in the brine for 3-4 days before eating. Beets will last in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. See notes above for long-term canning instructions.
Notes
- These pickled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Be sure to keep them in an airtight container while in the fridge.
- For best results, refrigerate the beets for at least 3 days so the beets have a good amount of time to soak up the brine.
- Save beet brine to add peeled hard-boiled eggs. Eat the eggs whole or slice them over salads.
