Pickled Beets
🛒 The Pickling Ingredient Checklist
- The Fresh Harvest:
- 2 lbs fresh whole beets (medium-sized beets work best for uniform slicing).
- 1 small sweet yellow onion, sliced into thin rings (The pickled onions taste incredible!).
- The Aromatic Spiced Brine:
- 1 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a fruitier tang).
- 1 cup water.
- ½ cup granulated white sugar (balances the sharp acidity perfectly).
- 1 tsp coarse pickling salt or sea salt.
- 1 small stick whole cinnamon 🪵.
- ½ tsp whole cloves (gives that signature nostalgic aroma).
