Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs medium beets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
fresh ground pepper
2 cups cider vinegar
2 cups sugar
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
4 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°. Put the beets in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with pepper.
  • Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and then with a double thickness of foil, sealing tightly. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beets are tender when pierced. Remove from the oven and let cool, covered.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium stainless steel saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, ginger, cloves, bay leaf and salt. Simmer over low heat until syrupy, about 20 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup and let cool to room temperature.
  • Peel the beets. Thickly slice them or cut into 1/2 -inch wedges.
  • Transfer the beets to a large bowl and pour the syrup on top.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled or warm, in the syrup.
