Today, I want to share my recipe for pickled beets. I love root vegetables, and beets are one of my favorites. I enjoy them in salads, as a garnish with cornbread and collard greens, or with nothing at all. They are delicious.
My preference is to prepare them using the recipe below. But I also purchase them for the grocery store already in a jar. This is my favorite recipe and I can't remember where I got it from. Anyway, I hope you like it. Here goes.
Ingredients:
A bunch of three or four medium sized beets
1/3 cup of vinegar (there about or to your taste)
1 medium onion sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (to your taste)
1 cup of water or about 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan
1. Cut off the top of the beets, peel, and rinse them off.
2. Cut the beets into 1/3 inch slices and place in a medium sized saucepan
3. Add sliced onion, vinegar, sugar, and water
4. Place saucepan on high flame and bring to a boil. Liquid should start to thicken. Lower heat as needed and cook until tender.
That's it. A very tasty garnish that is a great source of probiotics, which aids in the digestion of other foods.
Ok, look. Pickled beets are one of my favorite things in the world. They are pretty. They are cold. They are delicious. They are a vegetable. They are healthy. They are actually hard to find. I've always known deep in my heart I could find a recipe and make them from scratch, but I never imagined it would be this easy! Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for posting this.
