Instructions

Remove greens from the beets, leaving an inch of stem. Wash and scrub clean.
Place beets in a saucepan, cover with water, and simmer until fork-tender (30-45 minutes). Let cool before handling.
In a separate saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pickling spices. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.
Transfer cooked beets to an ice water bath for 5-10 minutes. Peel off skins, then cut beets into half-moon shapes. Pack into jars.
Place sliced beets into clean glass jars with lids.
Let brine cool until warm, then pour through a fine mesh sieve into the jars, ensuring beets are submerged.
Cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate. For best flavor, wait 24-72 hours before consuming.

Notes

Be careful not to pour the hot brine directly onto the beets, as this can make them mushy.
These pickled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
