Ingredients & Method

Ingredients

750g Fresh Beetroot
500ml Malt Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Pickling Spices (or your chosen spices)
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Litre Jar
1 Tablespoon Sugar (Optional)

Method

In a saucepan, bring your vinegar, salt, sugar and spices to a boil to make your pickling liquid.
Top and tail your beetroot. Add to a separate pan, bring to a boil and then simmer until tender. This should take approx. 45 minutes depending on the size of your beetroot and slightly less for baby beetroot.
Once the beetroot is cooled enough to touch, peel off the skin and slice or cube. If you are using baby beetroot, you can use this whole.
Put your beetroot in your jar and cover with your pickling liquid, including the spices, and leave to cool
Once cooled, tightly lid your jar and place in the fridge or keep in a cool place

FAQs

Does it matter which vinegar I use?

When it comes to pickling, your choice of vinegar is completely personal taste. We like to use Malt Vinegar for pickling beetroot as it has a deep and earthy flavour that spices well and compliments the beetroot. As long as your vinegar is at least 5% acidity, you can use it for pickling.
