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.
  • Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar.

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.

Time 14h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds beets, stems removed
4 cups white vinegar
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons pickling salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Place beets into a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until beets are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size.
  • Meanwhile, inspect six 16-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Bring a second pot of water to a boil. Immerse jars in simmering water until beets are ready. Wash new, unused lids in warm soapy water.
  • Drain cooked beets, reserving 1 cup beet water. Let cool until able to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Peel and slice.
  • Pack beets into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top.
  • Strain reserved beet water through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Add vinegar, sugar, pickling salt, and cloves. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat. Pour hot brine over beets in jars, leaving 1/4-inch of head space. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon pickling spice
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 onion, halved
1 small bay leaf (not California)
3/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 bunch fresh dill
3 beets (1 pound without tops)

Steps:

  • Bring all ingredients except beets to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Cool marinade, then chill, covered, 1 day to allow flavors to develop. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Cook beets in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Drain and cool. Slip off skins and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Stir together beets and marinade, then marinate, covered and chilled, 1 day.

Tips:

- For the best pickled beets, choose small, tender beets with smooth skin. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes. - Use a variety of beet colors for a more visually appealing pickle. - Peel the beets before pickling. You can use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife. - Slice the beets into thin rounds or wedges. Thicker slices will take longer to pickle. - Use a pickling liquid that is made with vinegar, water, sugar, and spices. You can also add other ingredients like garlic, dill, and mustard seeds. - Bring the pickling liquid to a boil, then pour it over the beets. - Cover the beets and let them cool to room temperature. - Refrigerate the pickled beets for at least 24 hours before eating. They will keep for up to 2 months.
