A guy at work gave my husband some fresh beets from his garden. I had NO idea what to do with them. But I tried this and another recipe from this site, and both were excellent. I'm not a big fan of pickled beets, but these were delish! Thanks.

These made beets edible, but I think I can find an even better beet recipe out there.

I forgot I had saved this recipe because I have memorized it. This is a staple at our house. Love it just the way it is written, except I leave out the onions since my family doesn't care for onions.

Very good. This recipe is as close to my Grandma's pickled beets (home-grown; home-canned) as I have found. I suppose I won't really be able to replicate those beets without putting forth a little more effort...starting a garden, for example! But these are very good.

No one in my family cared for these.

This was very good. I cooked fresh beets, reserving half a cup of juice, and followed the recipe exactly.

These are delicious! Personally, I double up on the spices, but they definitely get better and more flavorsome the longer you leave them! The onion tastes absolutely fantastic too. Thanks so much, Bea!

Soooooo easy! I think I did this in under 10 minutes. BTW - 2 1/2 cups is 2 14.5 oz cans worth of sliced beets.

Terrific! I used fresh beets which I cooked for 25 minutes, reserving the liquid for the recipe. Worked great!

this recipe is delicious- I used 4 tsp. pkgd. pickling spice instead of spices in recipe and turned out great. yummy

I don't think I have ever eaten beets before. My avid gardener Aunt brought me some fresh from her garden and I made this recipe. YUM! I know the recipe calls for canned beets, but I needed to use mine! I found another recipe describing cooking beets (boil for 45 minutes, rinse in cold water so the skins peel right off...which they did!) Be sure to save some of the water from boiling the beets to serve as the beet juice needed in recipe. I had red all over my kitchen...new appreciation for the term "beet red!" but it cleaned up easily and the beets taste surprisingly great. Kind of exotic tasting with the spices. Thanks for opening up my thinking to beets!

Yummy! I use a spoonful of packaged "mixed pickling spices" in the vinegar mixture instead of the separate spices, it is the perfect blend for pickled beets. The longer you marinate, the better it gets, so make a double batch! Small whole canned beets work just as well too.

Super easy and great tasting salad. Easily change spices to suit your own tastes.

Delicious and very easy! I cooked beets from my garden and then followed the recipe. My family devoured them!

Really easy and great tasting. I ate a whole bowl like it was candy.

This is an excellent recipe for beet lovers. I added a cinnamon stick to the recipe. I also add hard boiled eggs along with the beets and onions.
