Spiced Pickled Beets
Why I Love This Recipe
Sweet and spicy; and the juice makes an excellent marinade for pickled eggs. This recipe is great with freshly cooked beets instead of canned.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups sliced canned beets, juice reserved
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 whole cloves
3 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, sliced
Directions
Place the beets into a medium bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar and 1/2 cup beet juice and bring to a boil. Add sugar, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaf, salt and onion, and return to a boil. Remove from heat, and pour mixture over the beets. Toss until coated, cover and chill. Serve the beets very cold.
