Tips for Making Perfect Swedish Pickled Beets

- Use a sharp knife to peel the beets, and then use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice them thinly.
- To make the pickling liquid, combine equal parts vinegar and water in a saucepan. Add sugar, salt, and spices, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Pack the sliced beets into a clean glass jar and pour the pickling liquid over them. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before eating.
- Swedish pickled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
