Easy Refrigerator Pickled Beets

If you've never had pickled beets, you have to try this! They are so good and sweet. We put them in salads or eat straight from the jar. It makes my mouth water just thinking about them!
Ingredients (recipe can easily be doubled or more)
A bunch of beets (3-4)
Jar with sealed lid
seasonings:
peppercorns
pickling spice (I got mine at Walmart in pickling item section)
fresh dill
fresh thyme
1cup water
1 cup apple cider vinagar
1/4 to 1 cup sugar ( I personally think 1 cup is too sweet)
Directions
Wash & cut the stems off. Boil or bake beets in skins until fork tender. Wrap in foil and bake on 350 degrees. It takes about 40 minutes to cook to fork tender. When tender, let cool then peel the skin off. Cut in chunks or slice (whatever your preference). Sprinkle spices & seasonings in jar then pack the jar tight with the beets leaving a little space at the top for liquid to cover. (just enough to cover the beets) I used a large canning jar and tight fitting lid that I washed & dried before filling.
In a saucepan, add the water, vinegar & sugar (I used 1/4 cup/ in the video I said 1/2 but it was closer to 1/4) . If making more double the recipe. You can always make more afterwards if needed. Bring to a boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off and let cool before adding the brine to your jars. Be sure to slightly cover the beets and let it cool down before tightening the lid. With lid tight, turn the jar upside down (back n forth) to mix the spices that are at the bottom. When it's cooled off, refrigerate for 18-24 hours before eating. The longer you wait the better.
My grand daughter, Opal loves pickled beets and so do I.
You can use this brine to pickle uncooked cucumbers and red onions too. Be sure to try pickled slice red onions too. You'll be glad you did!
