Pickled Beets

 OK, OK, OK, OK, It has been a long time since I have posted.  It has been a very busy summer.   I went into the Culinary Academy and one of the workers had made some pickled beets to put on a salad.  I am not normally a pickled beet person.  These where great.  She made them with canned beets.  I went home and made them with fresh beets.  Wow, they are great, easy and I eat them on my salads all the time.  They have cinnamon and ginger and cloves on them and the spices taste great on a salad.  Hope you enjoy!!!


Bring to a boil
1/3 c. cider vinegar
 1/4 c. water
 1/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt

1 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. cloves
1/4 t. ground ginger
(I tasted mine and added more or less depending on how strong you want the spices)

 1 15 oz can beets drained or 2 c. cooked beets.  (I used fresh beets and Julienned them)

 Put beets in the boiling liquid and simmer on low for 5 min.   Cool and refrigerate.  Will last a month or more in the fridge.
