PICKLED BEETS



Pickled Beets image

This recipe was given to me many years ago by an elderly farmers wife and has been one of my 'must do' yearly canning recipes. If you have a large amount of beets, just keep repeating brine until your beets are all gone! Enjoy!

Provided by SHARON HOWARD

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

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.
  • 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.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt. Bring to a rapid boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm beets for pickling. Smaller beets are generally more tender and flavorful.
  • To easily remove the beet skin, place the cooked beets in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes. The skin will then slip off easily.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the beets thinly. This will help them pickle evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pickling liquid. Common choices include mustard seeds, dill, garlic, and peppercorns.
  • Bring the pickling liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes. This will help infuse the liquid with flavor.
  • Pour the hot pickling liquid over the beets and let them cool completely before refrigerating. This will help the beets absorb the flavors of the liquid.
  • Store the pickled beets in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will give them time to fully develop their flavor.

Conclusion:

Quick spicy pickled beets are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are perfect for adding a pop of color and flavor to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. They are also a great addition to cheese plates and charcuterie boards. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy this tasty treat at home.
