Some folks like to call them marinaded beets...I call them pickled. I Make my brine with equal parts of sugar and water, with double the cider vinegar. I then add some peppercorns, a bay leaf, pickling spice, mustard seeds, dill, and some onion.
In the meantime, I blanch the beets, and slip the skins off. I like to chunk the beets, but you can slice them too. If the beets are small, just pickle them whole.
After the brine cools, I refrigerate it for 2 days. Then I fill as many jars as I need with some of the beets. and pour the brine over them, filling the jar. Into the refrigerator they go for another week or so, to let the beets soak up the brine.
I like them with about any meal...maybe not with ice cream soup, though.
I'll add the recipe to my list on my profile page.
Happy Chomping!
I'm working on another batch. Cooking the brine smells the place up.
Anyone have any other uses for beets?
I know the brine in canned beets can be used to make beet wine.
What else?

I might go ahead and slop up a batch of pickled Brussel sprouts for the he*l of it.
uuummmm, Sorry. I have to pass on "beets" anything.
Carol and I agreed on the subject about not liking mushrooms (eck) and now I must agree I also don't care for beets. I totally would have to pass on the beets. lol
The only good thing about beets is the fact that when I see a can of beets I think of my mom. Every Thanksgiving or Easter when she came for dinner I always had to make sure I had a dish of sliced beets out for just her. No one else cared to eat them so there was plenty for her! lol That was great with her since she loved eating them.
Pickled Brussel sprouts??? OK, you are killing me here! If I had to eat this or beets I would have to eat the beets...pickled brussel sprouts?? That just is wrong. lol
Carol help me out here! lol
(gag)
Next you will tell me you like pickled eggs or sardines...Two more on my list of things 'not to eat'!
I could add to your egg safety thread on the topic of pickled eggs.
You might find a pickled Brussels sprout in your morning bloody mary. Brussel Sprouts are good for what ails you.

:? pickled eggs? Are they not safe to eat? I certainly don't have to worry about it since I don't like them...but my hubby eats them like candy. eck...

Oh gosh oh me oh my......yuck!! Neat memory about your mom though.
Beets are good as a natural egg dye!! Boil the eggs and beats together and the eggs turn a pretty red color

I just finished a double batch of pickled beets. Some are small, so I pickled them whole. The larger beets, I cut up into 1/2 inch chunks. I have to wait a couple days for them to soak up the brine.
I'm sure that when they are finished, they will be tastier than an order of greasy french fries, or one of those over the top burritos from Taco Bell!
