INGREDIENTS
  

For Pickling:

  • 4 medium beets
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • ¼ bunch fresh dill

For pickle brine:

  • 1½ cups water boiling hot
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 medium lemons juice only
  • 1 cup vinegar apple vinegar, white vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Prepare the beets. Place the beets in a pan and fill it with water. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the beets are tender, for about 30 minutes. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Transfer the beets into it. Let them cool.
  • Peel the beets and cut them in thick slices. Place them in a jar (1 liter glass jar). 
  • Put fresh dill and garlic on the top. 
  • In a large bowl, combine boiling water and salt. Make sure that the salt dissolves well. Add in lemon juice and vinegar. Mix well.
  • Pour the brine over the beets. Seal it and let it cool completely. 
  • Put it in the refrigerator when it is completely cool.
  • You can serve them after 24 hours. 
  • Store the remaining pickled beets in the refrigerator for up to 4-6 weeks unopened and 2-3 weeks when opened.

NOTES

 
  • You can use roasted, steamed or canned beets for this recipe.
  • Make sure to cover all beet slices with the brine.
  • We don’t use sugar in this pickling marinade as we find the sweetness of beets is enough. But if you want a little more sweetness, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar in the brine. You can add it into boiling water along with salt.
  • Although you can immediately eat them after they are completely cool, we recommend eating them at least after 24 hours. 
  • Use a clean fork each time to get beet pickles from the jar. Don’t use the same fork that you use to taste the pickle. This will cause bacteria and shorten the length of the storage.
