Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound beets
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅔ cup white vinegar (or cider vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut beets in half if they're large. Rub the skins with olive oil and place beets in a baking dish. Add ¼ cup water and cover tightly. Bake 45-60 minutes or until beets are tender.
  • While beets are cooking, combine vinegar, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and let boil 1 minute. Remove from the heat, discard cinnamon stick.
  • Once beets are cool enough to handle, rub the skins to remove and slice beets into ¼" slices.
  • Place in a jar with a tight fitting lid and pour liquid overtop. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
