Spiced Pickled Beets (Refrigerater Pickles) image

My sister in-law has been making these for 30 years or more. When feeling up to it she will can a large batch. But just for simplicity she will make this small batch that does not require canning. I had to stand at her shoulder and write everything down with guesses on the measuring. I really do not liked can pickled beets, they are very bland. I would rather have fresh cooked instead. This is the only recipe I will eat pickled beets. My DH loves the onions. You can use white vinegar, but this tastes better if you use apple vinegar.

Time 15m

Yield 6 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups beets, cooked peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2-1 yellow onion, 1/4-1/2-inch slices
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 inches cinnamon sticks, broken into 2-inch pieces or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 -8 whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 -6 allspice berries or 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 tablespoon pickling spices
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Mix beets and onions in large bowl. Put water and sugar into pan. Heat just until sugar has dissolves into the water.
  • Take pan off heat. Add vinegar and spices to the pan.
  • If you have a contaner large enought to hold all the ingredients, then just mix all items together and put into the fridge.
  • We usually pack the beets/onion mixture into two large jars, then split the spices evenly between the two if using whole spices. If using ground, just mix them with the liquid. Last pour liquid over beets to the top. You may have some liquid left over. Cover and refrigerate. These start to taste good after 12 hours, and best after 2 days. They will stay up to 4-6 weeks in the fridge.

I would have liked more information about how to store the pickled beets. The recipe didn't specify how long they would last in the refrigerator.

The recipe was easy to follow, but it took longer than expected to make the pickled beets. I had to wait several days before they were ready to eat.

The pickling liquid didn't cover all of the beets in the jar. As a result, some of the beets were pickled and some were not.

These pickled beets are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more tart flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but these pickled beets are actually pretty good. The pickling liquid mellows out the earthy flavor of the beets and makes them much more palatable.

These pickled beets are a great way to use up leftover beets. I had a few beets that were starting to go bad, so I decided to pickle them. I'm so glad I did! They're delicious and they're a great way to add some extra nutrients to my diet.
