Instructions

Here are the steps to create these delicious pickled beets:

Preparing the Beets

Start by giving the beets a good scrub. Trim the tops of the beets to about 1 inch.

Place the beets in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the beets simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender.

Remove the beets from the water and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel off the skins and slice the beets. Put the sliced beets in a bowl and set aside.

Making the Pickling Liquid

In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, cloves, allspice, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil, which should take about 5 minutes.

Once boiling, pour the pickling liquid over the sliced beets.

Refrigerate the beets for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving

Before serving, drain the pickling liquid from the beets. These pickled beets can be enjoyed on their own or as a zesty addition to salads and other dishes.
