How to Make Meme's Easy Pickled Beets

  3. Stir in 2 cups white vinegar and 1/2 cup beet juice.
  4. Add 2 cups (about 4 medium) sliced beets and 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Gently toss all ingredients until the beets and onions are evenly coated in the pickling liquid.

  7. Securely tighten the lids on the mason jars.
