Top stuff. I have never pickled beets before, and this recipe was just absolutely perfect. It is so simple!! (except for peeling the beets) I added some lemons cut into small, but thick triangles, and they made for an excellent contrast when I put them in their jars, as well as adding a little extra zing. I also roasted the beets instead of boiling, I got a lot of advice that this is a better way to keep better colour and flavour. Thanks very much Tara, I will make this again and agian.

Great recipe. My DH saves the juice and adds hard boiled eggs into the brine for a night or two. Says it makes the best pickled eggs.

These are delicious with a very nice spicy-sweet taste. I was looking for a recipe similar to that of my mom's (sadly, she never wrote down any of her recipes) and this one is pretty close.
