NOTES
- You can use roasted, steamed or canned beets for this recipe.
- Make sure to cover all beet slices with the brine.
- We don’t use sugar in this pickling marinade as we find the sweetness of beets is enough. But if you want a little more sweetness, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar in the brine. You can add it into boiling water along with salt.
- Although you can immediately eat them after they are completely cool, we recommend eating them at least after 24 hours.
- Use a clean fork each time to get beet pickles from the jar. Don’t use the same fork that you use to taste the pickle. This will cause bacteria and shorten the length of the storage.
- You can use roasted, steamed or canned beets for this recipe.
