My mother and I had our first experience with pickled beets. We have both recently become big fans of pickled beets, especially on salads. When I was able to harvest quite a few I decided to try our very own pickling of beets! I decided to leave out the cinnamon and cloves that are in most pickled beets because I prefer them plain but here's our easy process:
 |
| Boil whole until tender |
 |
| Slice off top and bottom and peel. The peeling should come right off. |
 |
| Mother opted for the gloves to avoid pink hands. |
 |
| So beautiful. It only slightly looked like we massacred something on the countertop. |
 |
| We only had 5 pints and wanted to avoid water bathing, so this trick seals the lids and they will be fine in the fridge for a good while. |
Although I don't enjoy this delicacy, I applaud your fine efforts at producing your own foodstuffs!
