Pickled Beets
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the beets carefully to avoid breaking the roots.
Boil the beets in plenty of water for about 3 hours.
Remove the beets without piercing them with a fork.
Allow the beets to cool, then cut them into pieces.
Pour good vinegar over the cut beets.
Exclude air to ensure they keep well for several months.
Occasionally boil the vinegar and pour it hot over the beets for better flavor.
