Our pickled beets date back generations to the time my grandparents grew and canned everything they possible could as farmers in mid-Michigan. This classic recipe has an apple cider vinegar base sweetened with cane sugar and finished with a mix of spices including cinnamon stick, cloves and all spice, creating delicious brine that pickles the beets as they absorb the distinctive flavors. Pickled beet connoisseurs love them and keep coming back for more. But even more rewarding is when we when over those skeptics, young and old, who scrunch their nose at the mention of pickled beets, but accept the challenge to try just one. We take great pride in the numerous newcomers to the world of pickled beets we have won over since beginning our company.
