RE: Anyone with a pickled beet recipe
the one we use:
trim beets,(not into beet just trim the top off flush)cook till fork tender, not real soft.
use equal parts of sugar and vineger (red apple cider vinegar), 1 quart vineger to 1 qt. sugar,1 tsp. pickling spice.heat till sugar desolves.cut beets into 1/4 put in clean heated jars,pour liquid to cover,seal with lids and rings,let cool to seal.
best to wait a week or more befor useing.
we put up a bushel this spring,they are almost gone.
