Pickling is a way to preserve food, so luckily pickled beets will last in the fridge quite a long time. After filling the jar with the beets and brine, I let it sit on the counter for half a day or so, then I move it to the refrigerator. You can eat them right away, but in order to let the flavors deepen I would recommend waiting at least a couple days. It’s important to remember that the sugar acts as a marinade and you don’t actually drink it. And if you cut back too much on the vinegar, you won’t have a good brine. The sugar balances out the vinegar and if you cut back too much, the beets will taste too vinegary. The sugar can be reduced, but I really don’t recommend it. This recipe calls for a 1/3 cup sugar (and before that shocks you, I’ve seen brines made with 2 whole cups!), so…perspective. If you are pickling to can and store, there is an entirely different process.

To be clear, this recipe for quick pickled beets is NOT shelf stable and must be stored in the refrigerator.(This particular recipe fits nicely into a 1 liter sized jar.)

But any glass jar with a tight fitting lid will do.

Remember those fantastic pickled beets your grandma used to make? Well, now you can make them too! Refrigerator Pickled Beets are so easy to make and last up to 6 weeks, so you can always have some available for a side, salad, or healthy snack!
