I enjoyed these beets, of course, I love pickled beets!I halved the recipe and it didn't quite make 4 pints. Thanks! -
I have made this almost on a weekly basis. Excellent for salads. Only change I made is 2 TBSP Splenda for the sugar. Taste was still wonderful. -
I really reduced the recipe since I wanted only enough for 4 servings, but it worked great and this is a great recipe !! I used Splenda instead of sugar to reduce the calories, and it was still excellent. thanks for posting -
This is a great recipe and simple to do. I cut the recipe in half since I am the only one who eats them. Thank you for sharing!
