Grandma Jackie's Pickled Beets image

This recipe is close to my own grandmothers recipe. I think she would be proud of me as I do not have her original recipe.

Time P1DT1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 beets
3 cups white sugar
1 quart white vinegar
1 tablespoon pickling salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 drops oil of cloves

Steps:

  • Sterilize 5 (1 pint) jars with lids and rings. Keep hot.
  • Place beets into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until beets are tender enough to pierce with a fork, but not mushy. Drain and cool, reserving 2 1/2 cups of the water from the beets. When beets are cool enough to handle, peel and trim the ends. Cut into wedges or chunks if desired and pack into hot jars.
  • While the beets are cooking, combine the sugar, vinegar, pickling salt, lemon juice and clove oil in a large saucepan or pot. Bring to a boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims with a clean towel and seal with lids and rings. Set at room temperature for 24 hours, then store in the refrigerator. Wait a few days before eating to allow beets to soak up the flavor.

I love the fact that this recipe uses white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. I find that white vinegar gives the beets a cleaner, more tart flavor.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I love these pickled beets. They're so sweet and tangy, and the horseradish gives them a nice little kick. I've been eating them straight out of the jar.

These pickled beets are a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets left over after making borscht, and this is a great way to use them up.
