Here’s a beautiful example of healthy pickled beets—a vibrant, tangy, and nutritious addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a standalone snack!
Healthy Pickled Beets Recipe (Refrigerator-Style)
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 medium fresh beets, scrubbed
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- Sweetener: choose ½ cup honey (as in a no-sugar version with optional honey) or adjust per taste
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional aromatics: fresh dill, mustard seeds, peppercorns, or garlic
Instructions:
- Cook the beets: Boil, steam, or roast until tender (about 30–40 minutes). Let them cool, then peel and slice or cube.
- Prepare the brine: In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sweetener (honey), salt, and spices; bring just to a boil, stirring until dissolved.
- Assemble: Place beets (and optional aromatics) into sterilized glass jars. Pour the hot brine over, fully covering the beets.
- Let the jars cool at room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. For the best flavor, wait at least overnight.
