Steps:
- TO BOIL: Place in a medium saucepan and fill with water so they're covered by an inch or so. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 35-45 minutes or until you can easily pierce with a paring knife. Drain and rinse under cold water then peel and slice or quarter.
- TO ROAST: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub with olive, canola or any vegetable oil and wrap in foil. Roast for an hour or until easily pierced with a paring knife. Let cool then peel and slice or quarter.
- TO STEAM: Place in a steamer basket over 2 inches of water in a single layer. Bring to a boil, cover and cook 40-50 minutes or until the beets are tender. Be sure to check the water several times when it's getting low so it doesn't boil out! Cool under cold tap water then peel, slice or quarter.
- Place the beets in a 1-quart glass canning jar, alternating with the onion and adding dill as you go.
- Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and black peppercorns in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and stir 1-2 minutes or until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Slowly and carefully pour the hot brine into the jar over the beet.
- Push the beets down into the brine if necessary.
- Screw a lid onto the jar and invert once or twice so the dill gets evenly distributed. Let cool at room temperature.
- Refrigerate 4-5 days before serving.

Steps:
- Combine the salt and water in a pitcher and stir until the salt has dissolved.
- Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly and snip off the blossom end stem. Set aside.
- Place the peppercorns, pepper flakes, garlic, dill seed and fresh dill into a 1-gallon crock. Add the cucumbers to the crock on top of the aromatics. Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers in order to completely cover. Pour the remaining water into a 1-gallon ziptop plastic bag and seal. Place the bag on top of the pickles making sure that all of them are completely submerged in the brine. Set in a cool, dry place.
- Check the crock after 3 days. Fermentation has begun if you see bubbles rising to the top of the crock. After this, check the crock daily and skim off any scum that forms. If scum forms on the plastic bag, rinse it off and return to the top of the crock.
- The fermentation is complete when the pickles taste sour and the bubbles have stopped rising; this should take approximately 6 to 7 days. Once this happens, cover the crock loosely and place in the refrigerator for 3 days, skimming daily or as needed. Store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, skimming as needed. If the pickles should become soft or begin to take on an off odor, this is a sign of spoilage and they should be discarded.

This recipe was given to me many years ago by an elderly farmers wife and has been one of my 'must do' yearly canning recipes. If you have a large amount of beets, just keep repeating brine until your beets are all gone! Enjoy!
