Provided by Lori Manthei Ridlon

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Pickled

Time 1h45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ⅓ cups distilled white vinegar
4 cups white sugar
4 cups water
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cloves
12 pounds beets, peeled and sliced
6 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • In a large pot, mix the white vinegar, sugar, water, cinnamon, salt, and cloves together; bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the beets, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars, lids, and rings in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, pack the sliced beets into the hot, sterilized jars, and pour in the beet liquid to fill the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a sterilized knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder.

ROASTED BEETS WITH CRISPY SUNCHOKES AND PICKLED ORANGE-GINGER PURéE



Roasted Beets With Crispy Sunchokes and Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée image

The combination of beets and ginger gives you a great spectrum of flavors, while crunchy toasted cashews and a mess of crispy sunchoke chips lend contrasting texture.

Provided by Dan Kluger

Categories     Fall     Dinner     Beet     Ginger     Salad     Thanksgiving     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian     Vegan

Number Of Ingredients 32

Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée:
Strips of zest (no pith) from 1 medium orange
2½ ounces fresh ginger (about one 5-inch piece), peeled and thinly shaved (use a mandoline if you have one)
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup champagne vinegar
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ Thai chile, with seeds
Roasted Beets:
1½ pounds beets (use a mix of colors if possible), about 5 medium
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted Cashews:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup roughly chopped cashews
Sunchoke Chips:
4 large sunchokes, thinly shaved (use a mandoline if you have one)
Vegetable oil
Kosher salt
For serving:
1 medium orange
Roasted Beets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
¼ cup Pickled Orange-Ginger Puree
Toasted Cashews
1 tablespoon roughly chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill fronds
Sunchoke Chips

Steps:

  • Pickled Orange-Ginger Purée:
  • Place the zest strips in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then drain. Repeat this process two more times (blanching the orange zest removes any bitter flavors). Place the ginger and orange zest in a jar or heatproof container. In a saucepan, bring the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, and ¾ teaspoon salt to a boil. Pour over the ginger and orange. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight. The pickled ginger can be refrigerated for a couple of months.
  • Drain the pickled ginger and orange and save 3 tablespoons of the pickling liquid. Add both to a blender or mini food processor, along with the olive oil, chile, and remaining 2 tablespoons salt. Blend until very smooth, scraping down the side of the blender as needed. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use. The puree can be made a couple of days ahead. (Makes about 1 cup.)
  • Roasted beets:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the beets in a baking dish (if using a mix of red and golden beets, separate them into two smaller dishes and divide the oil, vinegar, and water between the two dishes). Drizzle with the oil and add the water and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife; this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the beets. Let the beets cool, then peel and cut into 1-inch wedges. Place each color of beet, along with any accumulated juices, into a small mixing bowl.
  • Toasted cashews:
  • In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the cashews and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl.
  • Sunchoke chips:
  • Pour 1 inch of oil into a small saucepan and add the sunchokes (there should be just enough oil to cover the sunchokes; add more oil if needed). Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally; when the sunchokes begin to sizzle and foam, increase the temperature to high and continue frying, stirring constantly, until the sunchokes are light golden brown. At this point the sunchokes will rapidly go from golden brown to burnt, so quickly transfer the chips to paper towels to drain. Lightly season with salt. The sunchoke chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, or until they start to soften. (Makes about ½ cup.)
  • For serving:
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the peel and pith off the orange. Working over a bowl, cut the orange between the membranes to release the segments. Dice the segments, then return them to the bowl.
  • Drizzle the beet wedges with a little bit of olive oil, season with salt, and toss.
  • Spread the ginger puree on the bottom of a shallow serving bowl or plate. Arrange the beets over the puree. Sprinkle the chopped orange segments over the beets and grind some pepper over the dish. Top with the cashews, herbs, and sunchoke chips. Serve.

PICKLED EGGS AND RED BEETS, PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE



Pickled Eggs and Red Beets, Pennsylvania Dutch Style image

Learned to love this when we lived in Pennsylvania. It's a special treat for my son. From the US Regional Cookbook, Chicago Culinary Arts Institute, 1947

Provided by Molly53

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint small beet (canned beets are fine)
1/4 cup sugar (I use granulated, but you can use brown also)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water (I use beet juice for brighter color)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon whole mixed pickling spice
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

  • Cook, drain, and skin beets if not using canned.
  • Combine remaining ingredients, except eggs.
  • Pour over beets and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Cool.
  • Place eggs in a large jar and pour cooled beet mixture over.
  • Place in the refrigerator.
  • Let pickle at least two days before using.

### Tips
  • Choose the right beets: Select deep red beets that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes or bruises.
  • Prepare the beets properly: Before pickling, thoroughly wash and scrub the beets to remove any dirt or debris. Trim off the greens, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached.
  • Use a variety of pickling liquids: Experiment with different pickling liquids to create unique flavors. Common options include vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices.
  • Control the pickling time: The pickling time will determine the texture and flavor of the beets. For a milder flavor, pickle the beets for a shorter period of time. For a more intense flavor, pickle the beets for a longer period of time.
  • Store the pickled beets properly: Once pickled, store the beets in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.
### Conclusion Pickled beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
