Refrigerator Pickled Beets

Incredible taste, easy recipe

Tastes just like the canned beets but better!

Love these pickled beets, they are so good. I love fennel, so added fennel to 1 jar and absolutely loved it.

Very easy to make, and super zingy! Delicious is you're a pickle fiend like me but don't have the time for a full-on canning setup.

Instructions Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and mustard to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer for a few minutes; take off the heat and allow to cool a bit. Add peppercorns and beets to a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. (This particular recipe fits nicely into a 1 liter sized jar.) Pour the brine in, covering all the beets. Cover and set aside for several hours (or up to 24), then transfer to the refrigerator.

I add about a teaspoon of pickling spice sometimes to change it up.
