Spicy Pickled Beets

A quick way to put up a zesty appetizer for the winter. Beets canned by this recipe keep beautifully for a long time and serve us well — not only on their own as a snack, but also as a component of other dishes, like beet soup or layered "herring under a fur coat" salad. This recipe doesn't take much time or effort, yet it's a real lifesaver in the winter!

    1. For the marinade, pour water into a saucepan and stir in the sugar and non-iodized salt. Once it boils, give it about five minutes, then add the spices and turn off the heat. Cover and let the marinade steep for a couple of hours. 2. Meanwhile, cook the beets. Boil the roots whole, after scrubbing them well with a brush. To keep the beets juicy and bright, lower them into already-boiling water; once they're done, plunge them into very cold water and then peel. Cut into sticks and pack into clean, sterilized jars. 3. Bring the marinade back to a boil. As soon as it boils, pour in the 9% vinegar and turn off the heat. Pour the boiling marinade over the beets. Set the filled jars in a pot of an appropriate size, add hot water so it reaches the jars' shoulders (the water temperature shouldn't differ too much from the jars' contents, or the glass may crack), and process for 20-30 minutes. Seal the jars, turn them upside down, and let them cool under a warm blanket. Then move them to storage.
