🫙 HOMEMADE PICKLED BEETS ❤️🥕
Sweet, tangy, colorful, and incredibly easy to make!

🛒 Ingredients

• 4–5 medium fresh beets

• 1 cup white or apple cider vinegar

• 1 cup water

• ⅓ cup sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black peppercorns

• ½ tsp mustard seeds

• 1 small cinnamon stick

• 2–3 cloves garlic, optional

• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced, optional

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Cook the beets: Trim and wash the beets. Boil or steam until fork-tender, about 30–45 minutes depending on size. Cool, peel, and slice.

2. Make the brine: Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.

3. Fill the jars: Pack the sliced beets and optional onion/garlic into clean jars.

4. Add the brine: Pour the hot brine over the beets until completely covered, leaving a little space at the top.

5. Cool & refrigerate: Let the jars cool, then cover and refrigerate.

6. Wait for the flavor: They’re tasty after a few hours, but 24–48 hours gives them a much better pickled flavor.

🥗 Serve with: salads, sandwiches, burgers, grilled meats, cheese boards, or simply enjoy them straight from the jar!

💡 Tip: For refrigerator pickles, keep them refrigerated and use a clean utensil whenever serving.
