Steps For Making Pickled Beetroot Recipe
-
-
Prepare the Beetroots
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the tops and roots, but keep the skins on. Boil the beetroots in a large pot of water for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let them cool. -
Peel and Slice
Once the beetroots have cooled enough to handle, gently rub off the skins with your hands or use a knife. Slice the beetroots into thin rounds or wedges, depending on your preference. -
Prepare the Pickling Liquid
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Add optional spices such as cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and mustard seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat. -
Pack the Jars
Place the sliced beetroots into sterilized jars, layering them with any optional ingredients like thinly sliced red onions. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the beetroots, making sure they are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar. -
Seal and Cool
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth, then seal them with sterilized lids. Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. -
Let it Pickle
For the best flavor, let the pickled beetroots sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours before eating. They will continue to develop more flavor over the next few days and can be stored for up to 2-3 months in the refrigerator.
