I LOVE pickled beets TOO! But I'm a raw vegan and have been searching for a recipe like yours. Could you please the quantities of the ingredients that you used? Thanks so much!
Also I heard you say that the beets get a little soft. Thats good though isn't it?
Hi Jenny, I love beets I won a ribbon one year at the fair (cooked ones though). I didn't measure but for example boil 3 cups water to hot, add 1 cup vinegar, add a tab. pickling spice or ginger, nutmeg,coriander (what u like), then add your sliced beets to fill up that big bowl keeping the liquid above the beets. Because its a raw recipe the beets won't cook but soak so they will be crunchy soft not cooked like the cooked recipe where you would boil it all normally but its good. Tasty.enjoy!
Hi one more note the real soft-cooked beets are tender but raw fixed beets like these are soft crunch (not cooked). My hubby didn't like them raw because of that. I liked them fine. For raw & not cooking its good. Oh try to use stevia extract or agave nectar to sweeten to taste. Will take a good amount to sweeten that much liquid. I like the new Stevia extract from sugar in the raw makers its natural & safer then some of the products out their. If u like honey let it dissolve. Take care!
Thanks so much for the added advice and recipe. I want to add some sweet onions to it too like my mother used to make them. I like to put these on top of my salad.
how long do they ferment? a day, a week, a month?
