Ingredients
- 1 pound of beets, trimmed
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup of water
- ⅓ cup of granulated sugar
- 10 cloves of garlic
Instructions
- Place the beets in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until beets are fork-tender.
- Strain beets in colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle.
- Peel beets. Slice into 1/4" rounds. Place beets into a quart-size mason jar or bowl.
- In a large saucepan, (just use the same one — no need to wash in between) combine vinegar, water, sugar, and garlic cloves.
- Heat over medium until mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat and pour vinegar mixture over beets.
- Let beets sit until they are room temperature and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy!
- Pickled beets should keep in the fridge for about a week.

Notes
- Use plastic gloves and an apron when handling the beets. The juice stains cannot easily be washed from your skin or clothes especially once they have dried out.
- Beets come in different types and colors. I would suggest not mixing them together in a jar as the red beet juice will affect the color of the other beets.
- Make sure that all the beets are covered in the brine solution when transferred to a jar. This will keep it as safe from bacteria build-up as possible.
- You can experiment with different flavor profiles by adding other ingredients. For example, add some sliced onions and/or red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat!
