I followed the recipe exactly, but my pickled baby beets turned out bland. I think I might have used old beets.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pickled baby beets turned out too sour. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed these pickled baby beets. The pickling liquid was perfectly balanced and the beets were still slightly crunchy.

These pickled beets are a great way to use up leftover beets. I made them with some beets that I had roasted the night before. They turned out great!

These pickled baby beets are a delightful treat! The recipe was easy to follow and the results were stunning. The beets turned out perfectly tender and the pickling liquid was flavorful and tangy. I served them as a side dish with grilled salmon and
