PICKLED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Cut off the leaves from the beets leaving 1 inch of stem attached. Do not trim the taproot. Scrub the beets to remove any dirt. Put them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until fork tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, trim, and peel the beets. Slice into rounds and toss in a medium bowl with the onion.
• In a small saucepan bring the sugar, vinegar, water, and salt to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and immediately pour over the beets and onion. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Grate 2 carrots and 1 beet on the large holes of a box grater; add to the dressing along with 1/2 thinly sliced small red cabbage and 1/2 cup parsley; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 20 minutes.

PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel.
• Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar.
• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt. Bring to a rapid boil. Pour the hot brine over the beets in the jars, and seal lids.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

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.

CRISP PICKLED COLE SLAW

Steps:

• Finely shred the 2 different color cabbages(I use a mandolin, but a very sharp knife does just fine).
• Slice the peppers thinly and chop into small pieces.
• Cut the onion into 4 pieces.
• Thinly slice the four pieces and separate into slices.
• Finely julienne the 2 carrots(or more if desired) and cut into small pieces or grate them on a grater.
• Place all the chopped and shredded vegetables into a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan combine the sugar, vinegars, salt and celery seed.
• Bring to a boil.
• Boil for 3 minutes.
• Pour the hot vinegar over the shredded and chopped vegetables.
• Combine well.
• Transfer into large jars to store in the refrigerator.

• This keeps for a very, very long time in the frig and actually gets better after "pickling" for several days.
