4 beets, medium roasted, cooled, peeled, and sliced

1 cup cider vinegar

1 cup water

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. ground mustard, (dry)

5 whole black peppercorns

Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and mustard to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer for a few minutes; take off the heat and allow to cool a bit.

Add peppercorns and beets to a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. (This particular recipe fits nicely into a 1 liter sized jar.) Pour the brine in, covering all the beets.

Cover and set aside for several hours (or up to 24), then transfer to the refrigerator.
