7 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beets, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 cloves cloves garlic, peeled
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Brine:
  • 3 cups water, boiled and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Distribute beet chunks between two jars with lids. Add 2 cloves garlic, 3 peppercorns, and 1 bay leaf to each jar.
  2. 2
    Combine water and salt in a bowl to make the brine; stir until salt is completely dissolved. Pour enough brine into the jars to completely cover the beets.
  3. 3
    Screw on lids and let jars sit at room temperature until foam starts to appear on top, about 1 week. Transfer jars to a cool place (50 degrees F, 10 degrees C) for 2 to 3 days after foam appears. Store in the refrigerator.
