Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Fresh Whole Beets
  • 1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp Spices (Optional) 1 Bay leaf is an option, pickling spice is an option.

Instructions

  • Wash fresh beets thoroughly.
  • Prepare beets for slicing by removing the tops and the root.
  • Slice the beets thin with a mandolin.
  • Prepare the pickling brine.  Add Vinegar, Water, Sugar, Salt, and optional spices to a sauce pot.  Simmer until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the sliced beets to a 1 quart mason jar.  Pour the brine over the beets.  Allow the beets to cool.
  • Seal the jar and place the beets in the refrigerator for about 1 week.  The beets need ample time to soak up the pickle flavor.  I like to initially and throughout the week, shake the jar to be sure the beets aren't sticking together.

Notes

This recipe could also be made without the sugar.
