Time 50m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 pounds fresh small beets, stems removed
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon pickling salt
1 quart white vinegar
¼ cup whole cloves

Steps:

  • Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.

  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

Provided by Lori Manthei Ridlon

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Pickled

Time 1h45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ⅓ cups distilled white vinegar
4 cups white sugar
4 cups water
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cloves
12 pounds beets, peeled and sliced
6 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings

Using a slotted spoon, pack the sliced beets into the hot, sterilized jars, and pour in the beet liquid to fill the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a sterilized knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles.

ROASTED BEETS WITH CRISPY SUNCHOKES AND PICKLED ORANGE-GINGER PURéE



Roasted Beets With Crispy Sunchokes and Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée image

The combination of beets and ginger gives you a great spectrum of flavors, while crunchy toasted cashews and a mess of crispy sunchoke chips lend contrasting texture.

Provided by Dan Kluger

Categories     Fall     Dinner     Beet     Ginger     Salad     Thanksgiving     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Vegan

Number Of Ingredients 32

Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée:
Strips of zest (no pith) from 1 medium orange
2½ ounces fresh ginger (about one 5-inch piece), peeled and thinly shaved (use a mandoline if you have one)
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup champagne vinegar
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ Thai chile, with seeds
Roasted Beets:
1½ pounds beets (use a mix of colors if possible), about 5 medium
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted Cashews:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup roughly chopped cashews
Sunchoke Chips:
4 large sunchokes, thinly shaved (use a mandoline if you have one)
Vegetable oil
Kosher salt
For serving:
1 medium orange
Roasted Beets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
¼ cup Pickled Orange-Ginger Puree
Toasted Cashews
1 tablespoon roughly chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill fronds
Sunchoke Chips

Steps:

  • Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée:
  • Place the zest strips in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then drain. Repeat this process two more times (blanching the orange zest removes any bitter flavors). Place the ginger and orange zest in a jar or heatproof container. In a saucepan, bring the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, and ¾ teaspoon salt to a boil. Pour over the ginger and orange. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight. The pickled ginger can be refrigerated for a couple of months.
  • Drain the pickled ginger and orange and save 3 tablespoons of the pickling liquid. Add both to a blender or mini food processor, along with the olive oil, chile, and remaining 2 tablespoons salt. Blend until very smooth, scraping down the side of the blender as needed. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use. The puree can be made a couple of days ahead. (Makes about 1 cup.)
  • Roasted beets:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the beets in a baking dish (if using a mix of red and golden beets, separate them into two smaller dishes and divide the oil, vinegar, and water between the two dishes). Drizzle with the oil and add the water and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife; this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the beets. Let the beets cool, then peel and cut into 1-inch wedges. Place each color of beet, along with any accumulated juices, into a small mixing bowl.
  • Toasted cashews:
  • In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the cashews and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl.
  • Sunchoke chips:
  • Pour 1 inch of oil into a small saucepan and add the sunchokes (there should be just enough oil to cover the sunchokes; add more oil if needed). Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally; when the sunchokes begin to sizzle and foam, increase the temperature to high and continue frying, stirring constantly, until the sunchokes are light golden brown. At this point the sunchokes will rapidly go from golden brown to burnt, so quickly transfer the chips to paper towels to drain. Lightly season with salt. The sunchoke chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, or until they start to soften. (Makes about ½ cup.)
  • For serving:
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the peel and pith off the orange. Working over a bowl, cut the orange between the membranes to release the segments. Dice the segments, then return them to the bowl.
  • Drizzle the beet wedges with a little bit of olive oil, season with salt, and toss.
  • Spread the ginger puree on the bottom of a shallow serving bowl or plate. Arrange the beets over the puree. Sprinkle the chopped orange segments over the beets and grind some pepper over the dish. Top with the cashews, herbs, and sunchoke chips. Serve.

PICKLED EGGS AND RED BEETS, PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE



Pickled Eggs and Red Beets, Pennsylvania Dutch Style image

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS



Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs and Pickled Beets image

These are simple to make and my family's favorite. We prefer these because they use less sugar than some other recipes and no brown sugar at all. I never cared for beets until I tried these. From my Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes booklet that, sadly, is falling apart page-by-page. The longer they marinate, the redder the eggs become. Great in salads and a beautiful decoration on any platter. NOTE: Prep time does not include hard-boiling eggs or marinating time. 09/16/07 - There are two basic types of red beet eggs and this is my favorite. If you use cider vinegar and add cloves, cinnamon and allspice these become more like spiced apples and closer to recipe #86599. Since these spices can trigger my asthma, I find this simple recipe perfect.

Provided by Kats Mom

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans red beets, sliced, undrained
1 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
6 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled

Steps:

  • Combine red beets, vinegar and sugar in a pan.
  • Stir and heat just enough to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the eggs and refrigerate at least one hour (I prefer overnight).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm beets of uniform size for even cooking.
  • Scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Leave about 1 inch of the stem and root intact to prevent the beets from bleeding during cooking.
  • To save time, use a mandoline or food processor to slice the beets.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your pickled beets. Common additions include dill, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
  • Allow the pickled beets to cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator.
  • Pickled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Pickled beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be served as an appetizer, a salad ingredient, or a condiment. Pickled beets are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, and vitamin C.
