Name: Quick Pickled Beets
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 1 small red onion, halved and sliced; ½ cup red-wine vinegar; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 cinnamon stick; 4 whole peppercorns; 2 whole cloves; 3 cups steamed sliced beets, 1/2-1 inch thick (see Tip)

For these easy pickled beets, you only need to let them marinate in the pickling mixture for about 30 minutes to get great flavor. Marinating them longer just enhances the taste. Try them in place of cucumber pickles as a condiment or as a vegetable side dish for roasted chicken or beef.

Combine onion, vinegar, sugar, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and cloves in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the onion is tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in beets. Transfer to a large bowl and let marinate, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.


Use the greens in eggs steam first till soft and  Scrambled like spinach. My mom use everything. Barbara

I make this every summer for a family pot luck.  I have successfully substituted xylitol for the sugar for those with diabetes.  I like the recipe just the way it is but the beets usually have several hours to marinate.

Quick and EasyI've made this with steamed beets and, more recently, with roasted beets.  If you like a stronger beet flavor, roasted beets are the way to go.

Too Mild, but Fixable
The recipe was easy and healthy.  However, as is, I found it quite mild.  I tried doubling the vinegar and leaving them to marinate for 24 hours.  It was much better.
Pros: Simple, healthy
Cons: Taste is on the mild side
