Ingredients
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
10 juniper berries
2 bunches baby beets (8 to 10), peeled
Preparation
Combine all ingredients, except beets, in a small saucepan, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add beets and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer very gently until beets are tender, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Transfer to a small heatproof container; keep beets submerged.
