Instructions

For all recipes, prepare ingredients and place in a clean glass jar. 

Prepare brine by combining all brine ingredients in saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat to a simmer until sugar and salt are dissolved. 

Remove from heat and pour brine directly into glass jar with other ingredients. Make sure to cover produce completely. Seal jars and refrigerate.

Notes

*Roast or steam your beets before pickling. Alternatively, you can slice raw beets very thinly and pickle - I prefer them this way as it retains the crunch!
