Spiced Pickled Beets Sweet & Spicy Homemade Pickled Beets Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs fresh beets, trimmed and scrubbed 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground allspice 1/2 tsp salt 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional) Directions: Place the beets in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 30–40 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the beets and let them cool enough to handle. Peel and slice into 1/4-inch rounds or wedges. In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Place the sliced beets (and red onion if using) in a sterilized glass jar. Pour the hot brine over the beets, making sure they are completely submerged. Let cool to room temperature, then seal with a lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating. Best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks for peak flavor and texture.
