Easiest Pickled Beets Recipe

How to Pickle Canned Beets

You can take your time with a complicated pickling process, but my easiest pickled beets recipe made with canned beets is fast and delicious.

Fresh beets (and other fresh veggies) are wonderful. However, I don’t always have fresh beets in my kitchen.

This is why I keep my pantry stocked with basic canned goods, so that I can eat the vegetables I crave anytime.

When I crave the wonderfully sour taste of homemade beet pickles, it is easy to make them even when all I have is canned beets.

I used an aged Italian balsamic vinegar, when I made these pickled beets.

Some pickled vegetables are better with a milder vinegar, but I prefer the taste of a rich, balsamic to complement hearty beets.

And, of course, I added in the bold flavors of garlic and rosemary.

Feel free to substitute a different type of vinegar, if you’d like.

The pickles can be prepped in about a minute and you can eat them soon after they have spent a little bit of time in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
