Pickled Beets

Some of my fondest memories of summer are spending time with my Grandparents on their farm. My Grandmother canned and preserved the fruits and vegetables that they grew on the farm. One of my Grandmothers favorite was her Pickled Beets, she loved her beets and would have them on her plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although I don't eat them as much as my Grandmother, I do love my beets and there is nothing like fresh canned Pickled Beets. I rarely open a home canned jar of Pickled Beets that I don't remember my Grandmother in her kitchen making the wonderful food and memories of summer.

    I love beets, and I'm really curious regarding these.
    I need to try your recipe! :)
    Once I'm on my feet again (I have several fractures in my ankle, after surgery and still in a wheelchair....) - I'm planning to make it

    I think it is lovely you are still making your Grandma's recipe, Miz Helen. What a lovely way to remember her! I'm a huge fan of pickled beets and I do love the sound of this recipe with all the wonderful spices. Thank you for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul hop. Pinned and will tweet too :-)

    My mom used to make pickled beets -- love them! I noted your outdoor kitchen and went looking for a link to take a tour. I am so envious -- although it would never work in this Ohio climate! What a great idea to repurpose kitchen equipment. It would be so nice to be able to do the messy, hot work of canning outside! Not to mention washing all those great garden veggies.
