Use a non-reactive pot and jars, such as glass or stainless steel, to avoid affecting the flavor and color of the beets.

Sterilize your jars before use by boiling them or running them through a dishwasher cycle. This helps preserve freshness and prevents contamination.

Allow the brine to cool slightly before pouring it over the beets if you want a slightly crunchier texture.

If you plan to store pickled beets long-term, use a water bath canning method to properly preserve them and ensure shelf-stability.

Label your jars with the date they were made so you can track freshness and flavor development over time.

Taste the brine before adding it to the jars. Adjust the seasoning or sweetness to your preference—it should taste good before it even touches the beets.

Use pickled beets in a variety of dishes, from topping salads to pairing with goat cheese or even blending into hummus for a colorful twist.
