One jar Pickled Red Beets

If you seek you will find.

I wanted an easy recipe for pickled beets that I had bought at the Farmers Market.

Thank you google! 

This recipe made one jar.

Note: the jar would have been filled completely if I did not eat some beets while warm.

4 medium roasted beets , cooled, peeled, and sliced (<< click that link for how to make roasted beets)

Note:***I boiled my beets until fork went through skin easily.  Cooled , peeled and sliced them.

1 cup cider vinegar

1 cup water

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon (dry) ground mustard

5 whole black peppercorns

Note: ***I did not use any peppercorns 

***my adaptation 

Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and mustard to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer for a few minutes; take off the heat and allow to cool a bit.

Add peppercorns and beets to a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. (This particular recipe fits nicely into a 1 liter sized jar.) Pour the brine in, covering all the beets.

Cover and set aside for several hours (or up to 24), then transfer to the refrigerator.
