2. Prepare the Pickling Brine:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
- If you like, add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf to the mixture for added flavor.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
3. Pickling the Beets:
- In a clean glass jar or container, place the sliced beets.
- If using onions, add them to the jar, layering them with the beets.
- Pour the hot pickling brine over the beets and onions, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Let the jar cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate.
4. Let Them Pickle:
- Allow the beets to pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they will become.
Serving Suggestions:
- These refrigerator-pickled beets are perfect as a side dish, salad topping, or even as a snack on their own. They add a bright, tangy flavor to any meal and are a beautiful addition to your table with their vibrant color.
