SIMPLE, EASY PICKLED BEETS
During the winter when fresh beets are not available, this is what I make. You can use beets out of the garden, just cook them, peel and slice them and reserve some of the juice that you cook them in. I love the way these taste. And they will keep in an airtight container in the 'fridge for quite a while.

Steps:
- 1. Combine sugar, vinegar, cloves, cinnamon stick, mixed picklingspice, and reserved juice in pan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves; add beets and brings to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and chill thoroughly in refrigerator before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young beets. Avoid beets that are large or have blemishes.
- To make peeling the beets easier, roast them in the oven for about 1 hour, or until the skins are loose. Then, simply rub the skins off with your fingers.
- If you don't have time to roast the beets, you can also peel them with a vegetable peeler. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- To make the pickling liquid, you can use a variety of vinegars, including white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic, dill, or bay leaves.
- The beets will be ready to eat after 24 hours, but they will continue to improve in flavor the longer they are pickled. You can store the pickled beets in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Pickled beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, and manganese. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful way to add more vegetables to your diet, pickled beets are a great option.
