This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” tenderness with a professional, tangy finish.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Base: 8 medium Fresh Beets, scrubbed (the “secret” to that “wow” vibrant color).
• The “Treasure” Tang: 1 cup Vinegar (Apple Cider Vinegar works great for a professional-grade “wow”).
• The Sweetener Swap: ¼ cup Monk Fruit or Erythritol (replaces white sugar to keep you out of the “sugar fog”).
• The Aromatics: 1 tsp whole cloves, 1 tsp whole allspice, and a cinnamon stick for a “bakery-perfect” aroma.
• The Liquid: 1 cup water and a pinch of sea salt.
Preparation Steps
1. The Cook: Place beets in a large pot and cover with water. Boil for 25–30 minutes until tender. Slip the skins off once cooled—it’s like a “magic” reveal!
2. The Slice: Slice the beets into professional-grade rounds or wedges, exactly like the “wow” presentation in your picture.
3. The Brine: In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sweetener, and spices. Bring to a boil to create a “velvety” pickling liquid.
4. The Assembly: Pack the beets into a clean glass jar. Pour the hot “miracle” brine over them until they are “smothered.”
5. The Chill: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This is the “miracle” step that allows the flavors to meld into a “steakhouse-quality” treat.
6. The Reveal: Enjoy these “unbelievable” beets on salads or straight from the jar!
