Simple Pickled Beets - Canned image

For salads, cut into julienne strips and sprinkle on top. These beets are a colorful and delicious side dish. I pack these in holiday gift baskets, and everyone enjoys receiving this delicious gift. I always double or triple the recipe and save at least a dozen jars for my family to enjoy throughout the year.
