We usually have a bottle of these in the fridge, a very nice pickle! from Canadian Diabetes Association

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place beets in a sterilized jar.
  2. 2
    Combine vinegar, water, brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan, bring to a boil.
  3. 3
    Pour over sliced beets, cover tightly, refrigerate for 8 hours or longer until beets are pickled.
  4. 4
    (Remove cloves after 3 days.) Store in refigerator up to 2 months.

    Variation: These are best with fresh beets, but if fresh beets are unavailable, well drained canned beets will work nearly as well.

    Wow! I tasted these after 12 hours and they already got a 5-star out of me! (I imagine in a few days they'll have a 10-star!) No! Wait! They won't last that long! I did tie my cloves in a piece of cheesecloth so I wouldn't have to sit with a fishing pole and go fishing for them all day in a few days. One yank of the string and they're gone! I just promise not to yank too hard and stain my clothes with beet juice! LOL! Thanks, Dorothy, you've got a real winner here!

    For canning and long term storage, use a small stick of cinnamon rather than ground and reduce the cloves to just two per pint jar. I used red wine vinegar instead of white to play up the red of the beets.
