Easy Sugar Free Pickled Beets

Trim the top stem and wash the beets. Place washed beets in a large pot of water and boil for 25 minutes, or until tender. Remove the pot from the stove and run cold water over the beets. When the beets are cool enough to touch, use your hands to slip the skin off the beets. Trim the remaining stems and root. Cut cooked beets as desired.

To make pickled beets: Combine vinegar, sweetener, salt and water in a small sauce pan. Heat to dissolve sweetener. Remove from heat and set aside. In container(s) with a tight fitting lid, layer cut up beets. Pour vinegar/sweetener/salt/water over top. Add additional water if needed to fully submerge the beets in the liquid. Cover with a tight fitting lid and place in the refrigerator for 5 days. Then enjoy on a salad with goat cheese & microgreens.
