The flavor of pickled beets will be enhanced by adding cloves, orange zest, cinnamon, and thyme to the marinade. It makes a perfect holiday side dish, perfectly complementing rich meat dishes with its refreshing tartness. Since beets prepared according to this recipe are quick pickles, they should be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than two weeks. The beets will release their vibrant juices during the marinade, and a charming ruby-red jar of vegetables, tied with a ribbon, will make a wonderful gift for guests at your party.
