Description

This recipe for ruby-red pickled eggs and beets is easy to make because it uses canned beets. Just mix the ingredients and marinate hard-cooked eggs in your refrigerator for 1 to 3 days for a pretty and tasty side dish that serves a crowd.

Ingredients

3 (15 ounce) cans sliced beets
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup water, or as needed
18 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1 sweet onion, sliced

Directions

1 Drain juice from canned beets into a large container with a lid; stir in apple cider vinegar, sugar, and water until sugar has dissolved.
2 Mix sliced beets, hard-cooked eggs, and sweet onion into the liquid; add more water so liquid covers eggs completely if needed.
3 Cover container and refrigerate for 1 to 3 days, stirring the eggs and beets twice daily. The longer they soak, the deeper the eggs' color will be.
