SIMPLE, EASY PICKLED BEETS



Simple, Easy Pickled Beets image

During the winter when fresh beets are not available, this is what I make. You can use beets out of the garden, just cook them, peel and slice them and reserve some of the juice that you cook them in. I love the way these taste. And they will keep in an airtight container in the 'fridge for quite a while.

This is a very simple recipe for pickled beets from Elizabeth Corkery, of Groton, Massachusetts. The cooking process prevents the bleeding usually associated with working with beets and is much easier than roasting beets in the oven and peeling them afterwards. These beets get better as they sit in the refrigerator. They look very pretty in a pressed glass dish. Note: Leave part of the top stem and tail on beets to prevent them from bleeding during cooking. Golden beets or candy cane beets make a nice presentation with less bleeding. source unknown
