REFRIGERATOR PICKLED BEETS

Beets are very healthy for us! However, if you are like me, they taste and smell like dirt. But pickle these red gems and they taste amazing!!!

This recipe skips the whole canning process and makes refrigerator pickled beets that last several weeks in your refrigerator! I’m making these and also skipping the cooking and peeling fresh beets as canned beets have just as many nutrients.

Thanks, Traci from The Kitchen Girl.

What you’ll love about this recipe:

HEALTHY– Beets are full of nutrients like potassium, calcium, iron, and more!
EASY– Most of the ingredients you probably have in your pantry.
LASTS A LONG TIME– These pickled beets can last several weeks in your refrigerator.
