I tried this recipe for the first time tonight and I loved it! We grilled for dinner, so I used the grill to roast beets and turnips that I recieved from a friend's garden, then used Alton's recipe with apple cider vinegar as aI substiution. I couldn't wait and tried them after only a few short hours and all I can say is WOW!!! Fantastic!!!! How does anyone wait thte 3 to 5 days???? Thanks Alton! This ia my new "go to" pickling recipe! :

Fantastic!!! I have never pickled beets before, just roasted them with olive oil and pepper. Adding that extra step was well worth it!
I use apple cider vinegar instead, and I couldn't wait seven days to try them. They were gone the next day. Everyone loved them.

my daughter in law father brought me a lot of beets from his garden.
I must say I have eaten beets all my life. Bar none this is the best
recipe I have ever made. My eldest granddaughter came home from
college and was here to make cookies with me, I was in the process
of making the beets she does not like beets. She and her boyfriend
came the next day, he had never eaten beets. Well they both tasted
them and couldn't believer how good they were. My granddaughter
had tasted beets before but didn't like them. She loved these guess
I will have to send a jar back to school with her. Thanks Alton I
cooked your marinated turkey for thanksgiving and I was a star.
i of course give you all the credit. The beets will be on the table
for Christmas dinner can't wait to hear the praise I will receive.
Alton you are my go to for delicious recipes Thanks a million.

A friend introduced me to pickled beets and I grew to like it. This Xmas, I wanted a 'pretty' salad so I decided to try this recipe. Made it last night, 24 hours later, I just tasted it. Oh my world, it is the best pickled beet I've ever tasted. I had my husband tried it, and he never had pickled beet before, and he loved it! It's going to be a hit this Xmas dinner. I'm already thinking about getting some more beets to make another batch.
Btw, I used red wine vinegar because that was what I had. I put some tarragon into the pickling solution, and some cinnamon, all spice, and peppercorns as I were comparing different recipes, and other recipes called for these spices, and I do like strong flavors. Other recipes called for 1:1:1 ratio of water, vinegar, and sugar, while this recipe called for 1:1:0.5 which I think is the right balance of sour and sweet.
Thanks Alton! I'm a 'beet' convert.

Awesome recipe! Roasting the beets first gives them great flavor. I also peeled them with a vegetable peeler before roasting and it worked out great.

"Frenched food is food which has been cut in a particular way. The term is used in two different senses, depending on the context. In both cases, the food is cut with a specific cooking technique in mind. The frenching ensures that the food cooks evenly while also looking attractive when it is presented. In the first sense, frenching refers to cutting food into long, thin strips. This technique is also called a julienne cut."
