Do you enjoy the tangy and sweet flavors of pickled beets? This simple recipe is perfect for beet lovers looking to create a delicious homemade treat. The beets are tender, the vinegar adds the right amount of tang, and the honey gives a subtle sweetness, making these pickled beets a great addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish. Plus, a touch of fresh dill adds a lovely herbal note.

Ingredients:

  •  6 large beets
  •  6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  •  5 tablespoons honey
  •  A handful of fresh dill (optional)
  •  Salt and black pepper to taste
  •  3 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beets:

  •  Place the beets in a large saucepan and cover them with water.
  •  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 35 minutes, or until the beets are completely softened.
  •  Once cooked, remove the beets from the water and let them cool down.

2. Peel and Prepare the Beets:

  •  After the beets have cooled, put on a pair of rubber gloves to prevent staining your hands.
  •  Gently peel off the beet skins using your fingers; they should come off easily.
  •  Use a sharp knife to trim off any tough ends and cut the beets into small cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

3. Pack the Jars:

  •  Place the chopped beets into glass jars with secure lids.
  •  If using dill, add a few sprigs to each jar for extra flavor.

4. Prepare the Pickling Liquid:

  •  In a large jug, mix together the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and warm water until the honey and salt are fully dissolved.
  • Pour the pickling liquid over the beets in the jars, ensuring that the beets are fully submerged.

5. Seal and Store:

  •  Secure the lids on the jars tightly and give them a gentle shake to mix the ingredients.
  •  Let the jars cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.

6. Marinate and Serve:

  • Allow the beets to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving, giving the flavors time to meld together.
  •  Enjoy your pickled beets as a snack, side dish, or salad topping!
