Quick Fridge Pickled Beets

Quick Fridge Pickled Beets

This is a brine-based pickled beet. These are ready in about 2 days. They get better if you wait, but they are very good at that time. I use a large plastic container. If you have a large container, use double or triple the ingredients.

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 cooked beets, peeled
  • 1 container with lid
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt
  • 1 handful fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed
  • hot water, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Fill the container about halfway with very hot water and dissolve the salt in the water. Add the peppercorns, mustard seed, vinegar, and dill to the hot saltwater and stir.
  • Cut large beets in half lengthwise, add all the beets to the brine, they need to be completely submerged, and more water if needed.
  • Let the container cool down to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate. Make sure the beets are not poking up above the liquid.
  • Wait at least 2 days before eating.

Notes

Low cost.
As an alternative, you can add a few chili peppers to spice it up.

    I have made these several months ago, maybe Jan or Feb 2017, and they are good! Exactly like the pickled beets when I was growing up and my parents pickled beets for the winter. Highly recommended.
