Pickled Beets
Recipe By :Tom Lacalamita
Serving Size : 4
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds beets -- up to 4 large, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium red onion -- sliced into rings
1 clove garlic -- peeled and sliced
1 bay leaf
1. Combine the water, vinegar, brown sugar, pickling spices, and salt into
the pressure cooker. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the beets, onions,
garlic and bay leaf.
2. Cover and bring to high pressure. Lower the heat to stabilize the
pressure. Cook for 3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and release pressure with quick release.
4. Unlock and remove lid, taste the beets. They should be crisp-tender. If
they're too hard, return to high pressure for an additional minute.
5. Carefully remove the beets and onions with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and reduce by half. Pour through a strainer
over the beets. Cool to room temperature before serving.

NOTES : "Every recipe I have read for pickled beets cooks the beets
first and then pickles them for up to 24 hours before eating. Because the
pressure cooker infuses the food with whatever cooking liquid is being used, I
decided to experiment and see whether I could cook and pickle the beets in one
easy step. The results are delicious! - notes by the author
