CANNED SPICED PICKLED BEETS



Canned Spiced Pickled Beets image

Found this recipe in an old recipe box I bought at a rummage sale years ago. It's easy, and everyone who tries them loves them. I use large mouth quart or pint jars. Makes 6 quarts of beets.

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. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes. Add more time if you are at high altitude.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

QUICK PICKLED BEETS



Quick Pickled Beets image

Here, beets are boiled and dressed with cider vinaigrette.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium red beets with greens, stems trimmed to 2 inches, remaining stems and greens reserved for Stewed Beet Greens
Coarse salt
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place beets in a large pot, and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; add 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat slightly to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Trim stem ends, then peel beets using a paring knife or a vegetable peeler. Cut beets crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange on a platter.
  • Whisk together vinegar, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and the pepper in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Pour vinaigrette over beets, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: For the best results, use fresh, firm beets that are about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Scrub the beets thoroughly: Before you cook the beets, be sure to scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use a sharp knife: When you're slicing the beets, use a sharp knife to make clean, even slices.
  • Don't overcook the beets: Beets are best when they're cooked until they're tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a variety of spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique pickled beet recipe. Some popular spices to use include cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.
  • Let the beets pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer you let the beets pickle, the more flavorful they will be. However, you can enjoy them after just a few hours if you're in a hurry.

Conclusion:

Quick and spicy pickled beets are a delicious and easy way to add some flavor to your next meal. They're perfect for salads, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
