Easy beetroot pickle

On my way back from Magaliesburg I bought a bag of baby beetroot. So yesterday I made this delicious pickle.
Beetroot as a source of various vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, is very good for you. It helps the production of the blood cells and prevents anemia and impotence.
I have many recipes with this beautiful magenta roots that I will share with you in future...


EASY BEETROOT PICKLE
-5 medium beetroots
-4cups water
-1cup red wine vinegar
-1/2ts salt
-2 cloves of garlic
-5 pink peppercorn
Wash the beetroots well and put them in a pot with 4 cups of cold water without cutting the heads and tails to prevent from bleeding. Cook until soft. Cooked beetroots don’t need peeling but little scrapping with hands; use rubber gloves if you don’t fancy ruby hands. Once peeled cut them into 2x2 cm cubes and put in a jar with garlic, salt, pepper and vinegar. Top the jar with the boiled beetroot water. The pickles will be ready next day and will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks easily.
