Pickled Beets Recipe: Instructions

  • Place beets in a large stockpot with enough water to cover them. (If the beets are large, cut them into quarters.) Bring the pot to a boil, and cook until the beets are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, check 10 pint-sized jars. They should have no cracks or rust. Take new, unused lids and rings, and wash them in warm soapy water.
  • Drain the beets, but keep 2 cups of beet water and set aside. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and dispose of the skins.
  • Fill each sterile jar with beets. Divide the cloves among the jars.
  • Combine the sugar, 2 cups of the beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt in a large saucepan to make the brine; bring to a rapid boil.
  • While still hot, pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal the lids.
  • Place a rack on the bottom of a pot large enough to hold the jars and fill it halfway with water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into it using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars.
  • Add more boiling water if needed 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 cook for 10 minutes.

These beets are shelf-stable when sealed and do not need to be refrigerated. They can be stored for up to a year. Once opened, the beets will stay good for about three to four days in the fridge.

Pickled beets can replace fresh beets in recipes like salads and side dishes. Their bright magenta color can garnish all sorts of foods, but they can also be enjoyed on their own or with a sprinkling of feta cheese. They also pair well with hard-boiled eggs and coleslaw.
