Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm beets for pickling. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Do not peel the beets.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the beets into thin, even slices. This will help them pickle evenly.
- Pack the beet slices tightly into a clean glass jar. Add the pickling liquid and cover the jar tightly.
- Store the pickled beets in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating. The longer you let them pickle, the better they will taste.
