Pickled Beets Made with Honey!

Whatcha need:
__ Red beets, cooked just till done (don’t overcook them – we don’t want them mushy). Peeled and quartered or sliced. Do enough to fill 12 pint jars
__ 4 cups apple cider vinegar
__ 4 cups water
__ 1 cup organic honey
__ 5 tsp. high quality flake salt
__ 1 tsp. organic cinnamon (choice of Saigon, Cassia or Ceylon)
__ 1/2 tsp. organic allspice
__ 12 whole organic cloves

What to do:
1. Add hot beets to jars along with one whole clove per jar

2. Bring the rest of the mixed ingredients to a boil

3. Pour over the beets in the jars leaving a 1/2 inch head space and add lids/rings

4. Process in a boiling water bath or a steam canner about 30 minutes (Technically that is how long Ball says to do it, but I usually do 20 minutes or less since these are high acid due to the vinegar but that’s up to your discretion)

Most pickled beets recipe use a lot of sugar, but this is made with honey - and not much at that. Makes a nice side for sandwiches...

Most store-bought cinnamon sits in a warehouse for months or even years before it ever hits your spice rack.

We do things differently. By grinding recently harvest Ceylon cinnamon in small batches, we keep the delicate natural oils intact so you get maximum flavor + aroma.

We've been to the family farm where this comes from Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon). It's really high quality! Give it a try ~ we think you'll be blown away.

Our spice factory looked a little different this weekend. We teamed up with PBSF Dog Rescue and Chewy to get more than 52,000 pounds 😲😍 of dog/cat/farm animal food and litter out to folks in need.

PBSF Dog Rescue shared it with 6 other rescues, and they're in turn dispersing it out to hungry animals in other communities!! 🙌♥️

Times are beyond tough right now for so many. Very grateful for Chewy's delivery. Please support them, they help feed many hungry animals!

Tate can't get enough of Pinch organic spices 😆 He plows his schnoz in the minute his moms open the spice cabinet!

He's one of the 25 male beagles PAWS Chicago rescued from a terrible Wisconsin research/breeding facility. He's now living the good life, adopted by his fosters Sherri & Eva (long-time Pinch supporters!).

We love you Tate!

And a HUGE thank you to everyone out there who fosters and adopts animals in need ~ you are amazing people!

The need for dog and cat fosters is GREAT all over this country. If you've been thinking about it, please sign up with your local shelter or rescue group. You'll save a life, and totally enrich yours while you're at it.

We foster animals at Pinch - currently have two foster pups. Happy to answer any questions you may have about fostering!
