Ingredients
- 1 pound beet
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1½ teaspoons pickling spice
- ½ teaspoon salt canning salt
Instructions
To Boil the Beets
- Wash the beets well. Remove the green tops. Save them for salads or sautéing.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole beets to the boiling water.
- Turn the heat down and simmer until they are very tender and can easily be pierced with a fork, 20-40 minutes, depending on their size.
To Roast Beets
- Cut the ends off of the beets. Peel them.
- Cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a medium bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast them in a 350°F oven until they are very tender, about 45 minutes.
- Add the ingredients for the brine to a medium saucepan. Heat the brine over medium-high heat to boiling.
- Place the hot beets into your clean, sterilized canning jars.
- Pour the hot brine over the beets, leaving ½-inch headspace. Cool the jars to room temperature, and then refrigerate for a few days.

Notes
- Calories are calculated for the entire pint of beets, not individual servings.
- Pro Tips
- Always use gloves when you're handling beets. They will stain your fingers.
- Either boil or roast the beets until they are very tender.
- If you're using canning jars, don't use a metal lid. (I know there is a metal lid in the photo.) Instead, use a plastic storage lid. The acid from the vinegar can break down the metal and ruin your beets.
- Canning jars must be cleaned and sterilized before adding the pickles since they aren't processed.
- These pickles are not shelf-stable. They need to be refrigerated. See this recipe for shelf-stable beets.
- Wait at least 24 hours for the beets to soak up the pickling brine for the best flavor.
- Pickled beets will last at least 6 weeks in the refrigerator. Do not freeze them.
