last year i made tasty pickled beets but they were nothing like these.
this time i used pickling spice.
homemade pickling spice
(modified from ball's recipe)
makes about 1/2 cup
1 cinnamon stick broken into pieces
5 bay leaves, crushed
2 T mustard seeds
1 T coriander seeds
1 T whole black peppercorns
1 T dill seeds
1-2 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 tsp whole cloves
pinch cardamom
1/2 tsp grated ginger root
mix and store in an airtight container.
my chioggia beets were pickled following this recipe. since i had such a small amount, i didn't bother to can - just stored them in the fridge. the jar was made for my beet-loving mother, but i can't seem to keep my fingers out of it. sorry mom! the next batch will be better - i'll even take the skins off=)
