Remember, you are not sick after you have consumed copious amounts of pickled beets. It's just the aftermath. Enough said!
I would like to share my pickled beet recipe.
I quadrupled this batch and it worked perfectly, for the amount of beets I had,
(approx 8 to 10 lbs)?
(approx 8 to 10 lbs)?
Pickled Beet Brine
2 pints of vinegar
2 cups of sugar
3 tsp allspice
12 cloves
First boil the beets for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, slip off their skins.
Cut beets into 1/4 inch slices and fill sterilized canning jars.
Pour brine over the beets leaving 1/2 inch of head-space.
Wipe tops of jar to remove any debris. Put boiled snap lids on jars and screw on rings.
Boil the beets in a hot-water bath for ten minutes.
Remove from bath and place on counter-top to ensure lids snap to seal. Gaze at the beautiful jars that you have created. I usually let them sit for a month or so before we crack open the first jar. Sometimes I hide them so nobody can eat them...just for looking! Fit for a King!
Cheers!

Oh my goodness I love pickled beets! At the salad bar that's always like half my bowl and my boys freak out because my salad turns purple - cracks me up! Just pinned this and I would love for you to share with my readers if you get the chance. Hope you're having a wonderful week! http://www.momontimeout.com/2012/08/taking-timeout-thursday-no45.html

I grew up on pickled beets. I have many a memory sitting out on the lawn, with a giant bucket of beets, a scrub brush and the hose, scrubbing the heck out of the beets so my mom could can them. Thanks for sharing at the Café! I love this.
ReplyDeletep.s. That was Heather from the Beating Heart stating that. Darn husbands thinking they can check their own emails. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen - you're being featured at Inspiration Cafe xx Nat
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried pickled beets, I love regular beets, I guess they must be similar. Great instructions on how to prepared them, and congratulations on the feature!
