What Vinegar For Pickling Beetroot 

White vinegar is one of the best choices for pickling beetroot. This is because it has a clear, neutral flavor that doesn’t overpower the natural taste of the beets. However, you can also use alternatives like cider vinegar or malt vinegar.

If you decide to substitute another type of vinegar instead of white vinegar in the recipe, you should maintain the same quantity as mentioned.

How Long To Boil Beetroot For Pickling 

You should boil the beetroot for about 15 minutes. You can check if the beetroot is done by inserting a fork or knife into it; if it goes in smoothly without much resistance, the beetroot is ready for pickling.

Can You Freeze Pickled Beetroot
