The Joy of Homemade Pickles and Serving Suggestions
Aside from being a tasty addition to your kitchen arsenal, making your own pickles ensures you avoid unnecessary preservatives often found in commercial products. Beets are also packed with beneficial nutrients like folate and manganese. Stored properly, water bath canned pickled beets can last for up to a year. 📅
Wait at least two weeks before opening a jar to allow the flavors to fully meld. Once ready, serve your glorious creation alongside grilled chicken, on a charcuterie board, or chopped up in a creamy potato salad. They also make a fantastic, tangy contrast to a rich, savory sandwich.
Did you know that the vibrant red color of beets comes from betacyanin, a powerful antioxidant? It’s part of what makes them so good for you!
