These Pickled Beets are tangy, slightly sweet, and full of earthy flavor with a vibrant deep red color. They’re delicious as a snack, side dish, or salad topping, and they store beautifully in jars. The secret? Simmering the beets until tender, then soaking them in a sweet-and-sour brine that enhances their natural flavor while keeping them crisp.
