steamed beet liquid - saved from steaming the beets

salt - kosher salt

cinnamon sticks - whole

pickling spice - pickling spice - a mixture of crushed cinnamon stick, bay leaves, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, peppercorns, dill seeds, allspice berries and cloves

🧊 How To Make Refrigerator Pickled Beets (Basic Instructions)

Clean and steam the beets until knife tender, saving some of the liquid in the pot for the brine. Make a brine with the remaining ingredients, bringing the liquid to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Add cooked, peeled, sliced beets to clean jars and pour the hot brine over the beets. Close the jars and allow them to return to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for 24 hours before enjoying. Use within 6 weeks.

📷 Making Pickled Beets (photo instructions)

Thoroughly wash the beets. Cut off the leaves but save the stems. In a wide-bottomed pot, place the beets and the beet stems in a single layer and add 1 ½ cups of water or until the beets are submerged halfway in the water.

Bring to a boil and turn off the heat once a boil is reached. Once the beets are cooled enough to handle, slice off the root and the stem end. TIP: The skin of the beet should peel right of with a bit of rubbing with your thumb or scraping with a butter knife. The skin of the beet should peel right of with a bit of rubbing with your thumb or scrape with a butter knife.

Pour the cooled brine over the cooked beets, tapping the jar to remove any air bubbles. Place a clean lid and ring/ screw bands on the jar and finger tighten.
