A Tale of Two Beets – A Pickled Beet Alternative

This pickled beet recipe is a little different than the usual. Traditional pickled beet recipes usually are all about cinnamon, cloves, and sugar but this one has a more savory twist.

Safety first when canning your Pickles Beets

As with all water bath canning recipes, cleanliness and detail to directions is important. Sterilize your jars and lids and any tools you use. Always check for tight seals on your lids 24 hours later which will be indicated by a depressed button on your canning jar lid. When you retrieve you any canned goods from your pantry, make sure that the button is still depressed. If it is raised, the contents are not safe to eat.
