Question 1

What kind of beets do you need for pickles?

Accepted Answer

Beets come in many varieties, including red, golden, chioggia, and more.

I recommend using red/purple beets or golden beets for pickling.

Striped beets like chioggia can lose their beautiful patterning during the cooking process, so keep that in mind if you plan to use them.

Question 2

Can I use canned beets to make these pickles?

Accepted Answer

If you don’t want to roast and slice fresh beets, you can use canned beets to make pickles.

Make sure they are rinsed and well drained.

Question 3

How long do pickled beets last?

Accepted Answer

Stored in the refrigerator, pickled beets will last for about 1 month. I recommend keeping them toward the back of the fridge where it is colder, not in the doors.

If you have processed the jars in a canner, they will keep in a cool, dark place for 18 months. Discard any jars that have lost their seal or leaked in storage.
