Pickled Red Beets

By Grammie926

These are just the right mix of sweet & tart.

Ingredients

• 6 quart basket red beets
• 1 1/2 c water
• 1 1/2 c vinegar
• 1 c sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cook beets to desired firmness. Peel (you may peel first & then cook but you lose some colour). Cut into bite size wedges or slice about 1/4 in thick depending on size of beets you have. Mix water, sugar and vinegar together in pot & bring to a boil. Cool very slightly. Cover all beets in the jars.

You may add a few whole cloves if desired. Seal & store 1 month before using. Remove all bubbles before sealing - use a kitchen knife to readjust beets.
