HOMEMADE PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Place beets into a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until beets are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size.
• Meanwhile, inspect six 16-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Bring a second pot of water to a boil. Immerse jars in simmering water until beets are ready. Wash new, unused lids in warm soapy water.
• Drain cooked beets, reserving 1 cup beet water. Let cool until able to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Peel and slice.
• Pack beets into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top.
• Strain reserved beet water through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Add vinegar, sugar, pickling salt, and cloves. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat. Pour hot brine over beets in jars, leaving 1/4-inch of head space. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

EASY PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool under cold running water. Once the eggs cool for a bit, roll the eggs back and forth on the counter to crush the shells, then return to the cold water for up to an hour. They will peel very easily then.
• Place the peeled eggs in a large bowl or large wide mouthed jar with a lid. Pour in the pickled beets and juice. Add onions if you are using. Let them set in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours - 2 days is best if you can wait that long. Turn jar or stir once or twice to be sure that the eggs are evenly colored. Slice eggs in half and arrange on a tray to serve.

QUICK PICKLED EGGS AND BEETS

SIMPLE, EASY PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Drain beets, saving the juice. Add water if necessary to make 1-1/2 cups of juice. Set aside.
• Slice onion and combine with the beets in a glass or non-reactive bowl.
• In a sauce pan, heat the beet juice and the vinegar until steaming (not boiling) then add the sugar.
• Stir to dissolve the sugar and heat just to a boil.
• Pour the hot juice over the beets and onions, stir and let cool.
• When cool, cover and refrigerate. They taste best when they have sat for 24 hours.

QUICK PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Rinse off any excess dirt and cut off the stem and root. I suggest finding ones that are similar in size to ensure even cooking. If some are larger than the others, which is bound to happen, slice the larger ones into smaller pieces so they can cook evenly.
• Add water to a large pot with a steamer basket and steam for 30-45 minutes. The time will depend on how large the beets are. They are done when you can easily pierce them with a knife.
• Remove from the pan and let them cool for a few minutes. Next, you will need to peel them. With the beets being warm, the skin should be able to peel right off. To get it started, you can slide a knife in between the skin and the bulb and then use your hands.* Once you get it going, it should easily come off.
• Slice them into 1/4-1/2 inch thick pieces. Then place them in a wide-mouth jar. Pour vinegar over them so they are just barely covered.
• Let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours up to overnight. The longer they sit, the better they are!

PICKLED BEETS (FOR CANNING)

Steps:

• In a large pot cook the unpeeled beets until fork-tender (do not overcook) cool and then remove the skins.
• Slice into about 1/4-inch thick or cut into cubes.
• Pack snuggly into the canning jars (be careful not to bruise).
• In a large saucepan combine the sugar, water, vinegar, ground cloves, allspice, cinnamon and whole cloves; bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes (no sugar granules should remain).
• Quickly pour over the beets in the jars, leaving 3/4-inch headspace (the liquid should go no further than the shoulder of the jar!).
• Process in a boiling water bath for 12 minutes.
• Cool on a rack.

SIMPLE FERMENTED "PICKLED" BEETS WITH GARLIC & DILL

Steps:

• Wash and peel the beets. Cut away the tough portion near the stem.
• Cut beets into desired size and shape (bite size chunks, sticks, slices, etc.) Thinner pieces make for more tender (but still crisp!) finished fermented beets. Large chunks may remain more tough.
• In a clean jar or ferment vessel, place a few sprigs of washed fresh dill and a clove of garlic in the bottom of the container. Add optional pinch of peppercorns or chili flakes.
• Next, pack the chopped beets into the container until halfway full - minimizing empty air space as you go.
• Add another small handful of dill and clove of garlic.
• Continue adding the chopped beets until the container is full.
• On the stovetop on low heat, combine the called-for salt and filtered water to create a salt water brine. Heat only until salt dissolves. Do not add hot brine to the beets! Allow to cool to room temperature/lukewarm as needed.
• Pour the brine into the ferment vessel or jar until the beets are fully submerged. Carefully tap and wiggle the jar side to side to release any trapped air pockets.
• Next put a Kraut Source lid, or other fermentation weight and air lock lid on top of the jar.
• Allow the beets to sit at room temperature to ferment for Fahrenheit for 7 to 14 days. The ideal fermentation temperature is between 70 and 75 degrees.
• If you are using a Kraut Source lid, watch the air-lock water "moat" in the lid to ensure it doesn't dry up. Refill with water if needed. Also, carefully remove the top cap of the lid and press the spring down to remove more air halfway through fermentation. Keep the container on a plate to catch overflowing brine.
• When the time is up, remove air lock lid and weights, cover the container with a standard lid, and store the finished fermented vegetables in the refrigerator.
• Use within several months, or possibly up to a year! As long as they aren't moldy or obviously putrid, they're still good!
