Homemade Pickled Beets Recipe (Sweet & Tangy!)

adminon

 Prepare the Beets

  1. Wash the beets very well.

  2. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 35–50 minutes, depending on size.

  3. Once tender, drain and let cool slightly.

  4. Peel the skins — they will slide off easily.

  5. Cut into slices, cubes, or wedges (as you see in the picture).

     Make the Pickling Brine

    In a saucepan, combine:

    Vinegar

    Water

    Sugar

    Salt

    (Optional) cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf

    Bring to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes until sugar dissolves.

     In the Beets

    Place the beet slices into clean glass jars.

    Pour the hot brine over them until fully covered.

    Close the jars tightly.

     Chill & Serve

    Let the jars cool, then refrigerate at least 24 hours for full flavor.

    They stay fresh in the fridge for up to 1 month.
