For a deeper flavor, try adding a pinch of ground ginger or a bay leaf to the syrup. If you prefer a less sweet pickle, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup. These pickled beets are excellent as a side dish, in salads, or as a colorful addition to a cheese board.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Drain most of the beet juice from the jar, leaving approximately ½ inch of juice at the bottom of the jar. (1 minute)
02
Step
1 mins
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, white vinegar, salt, and cloves. Place over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves, forming a smooth syrup. This should take about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
Pour the cooled syrup over the beets in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and gently shake to distribute the syrup evenly. (2 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Refrigerate the beets for at least 2 to 3 days to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they become. (2-3 days)
