Raw Refrigerator Pickled Beets

Raw Refrigerator Pickled Beets

Ingredients:

2 medium beets (either roasted or raw, see back for roasted) 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 2 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt Spice Pack (1/8 teaspoon dry mustard, whole peppercorns, 1/8 teaspoon, 1 crumbled bay leaf)

Directions:

Peel and slice or grate the beets into thin slices. For best results use a mandolin or food processor. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and spice pack and bring to a boil in a small sauce pan stirring until the sugar dissolves, simmer for a few minutes and then take off the heat and allow to cool, Add beets to a clean glass jar or other container with a tight fitting lid and pour in the liquid covering all the beets. Cover and set aside until completely cooled and then transfer to the refrigerator, Let sit overnight and then ENJOY!

Notes:

I have made these both raw and roasted, I like them raw the best for salad toppings, and roasted for quick snacks and sides to dinner.
