Wine-Pickled Beets
Red wine gives pickled products a rich, full-flavored taste. It also enhances the color of the beets nicely in this recipe.
Ingredients
3 pounds beets
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 cinnamon stick, broken
1/2 teaspoon allspice whole
1/2 teaspoon cloves whole
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 cinnamon stick, broken
1/2 teaspoon allspice whole
1/2 teaspoon cloves whole
Directions
Boil the beets until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and plunge in cold water. Slide the skins off the beets. Cut beets into 1/4- to 1/2 inch slices and pack in clean canning jars.
Place sugars, wine, vinegar, and salt in a pot. Place the cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a muslin teabag or a piece of cheesecloth and tie closed. Add to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, about 8 minutes.
Pour the syrup over the beets, leaving 1/2 inch space at the top of the jars.
Cover jars and process for half an hour in boiling water bath.
Place cooled jars in a dark cupboard for about a month before opening.
