Canned Beets

When I was a kid my mom use to dump the beets in a bowl, drain the juice into a pot, add some thin sliced onion, salt, pepper and a bit of vinegar and let that come to a boil so the onions soaked up the color and vinegar flavor.

Then add the cooled off juice back to the beets and refrigerate till time to eat.

Now, I grow my own beets and will take the whole with the skin on and bake them from time to time, steam some and usually pickle quite a few quarts with onion, garlic, mustard seed and a vinegar brine.

So much better than store bought canned beets.

I prefer fresh roasted but I sometimes warm canned and eat with goat cheese.

My parents eat them refrigerated with mayo.

Straight from can.

I grow them and roast and like them with various items that way but I like pickled canned beets on a salad with some olive oil and the beet juice. Rouses has jarred whole baby beets that I buy.
