How to Make Easy Pickled Beets
- Wash and trim the beets, leaving about ½ inch of stem and root attached.
- Place beets in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
- Drain the beets immediately and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
- Once cool, peel and roughly chop the beets into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, and garlic cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the chopped beets to the saucepan. Bring back to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the beets to absorb the flavors.
- Remove from heat and let the beets cool completely in the pickling liquid.
- Once cooled, transfer the beets and pickling liquid to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy for up to 1 month!
