- 6 medium-sized beets
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
Boil beets until tender. Drain, but set aside 1 1/4 cups of the beet liquid. When the beets are cool, slice off tops and bottoms. Peel the skin off the beets; should be able to do this with your fingers. Slice beets.
Heat vinegar and beat liquid until hot and steamy. Do not boil mixture. Dissolve sugar and salt while stirring, until ingredients reach a boil, but do not boil. Pour the hot liquid over the beets.
Cool, cover and refrigerate.
Best after 24 hours.
