Ingredients

  • 4-6 whole beets, scrubbed with tops trimmed off

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • abundant love

Directions

  • Wash the beets and trim the ends. Place in a pot with water to cover the beets.
  • Place the cover on the pot and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat to low and simmer until soft, 40-50 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Check for readiness with a sharp knife, it should press through the beet and still have some firmness (crunch).
  • Remove the pot of beets from the heat and cool by straining and pouring cold water over them or submerging in a bowl of cold tap water. When cool enough to hold, place beets in a strainer and slide the skins off (under cold running water is helpful). The skins should come off easily.
  • Slice the beets as you like them…we like 1/4 inch matchsticks. Half-moon/crescent are great too.
  • Put the beets in a glass jar and pour the vinegars and salt over the beets to fill the jar. Give the jar a little shake to mix well and store in the refrigerator.
  • Eat on their own like you would pickles, or serve atop salads. Enjoy!
