We love them.  I can some every other year.  I boil some eggs and pour a jar over those and I also use my pickled beets to make Harvard beets.   This is my year to can beets

and I can't wait as we are out!  I use the cylindra beets which are carrot shaped but thicker.  They make for more uniform slices and are easier to put in the jar.

Aunt Nellies makes delicious baby pickled beets.  They are sold in a gass jar.  I have a hard time finding in Pa. but Publix carries them in Florida.  I always have several jars in.  I use arugula as my greens with baby pickled beets, feta and toasted almonds for a quick salad.  Love it.

Thanks to all. I found Aunt Nellies on Amazon and ordered even though they say high frutose corn syrup. I saw De Monte too. this might be the brand we had growing up. So many of our grocery stores have house brands so many items are hard to find.

We can our own, I make them sweeter than most, eat them cold like a pickle or make Harvard beets. We make pickled eggs also. If there is left over syrup from canning I can that too for pickled eggs.

I love pickled beets. They are standard in the south for salad bars and in homes.

We grow and pickle our own beets every year, and making pickled eggs with the juice left over is a great bonus!

My son will go into the basement and grab a jar of pickled beets and eat the whole thing in one sitting. I can't seem to get enough of them either. 

I like plain beets if they are homegrown and fresh (I tend to eat too much while I'm processing them even before they are pickled), but can't hardly stand a commercially canned beet anymore. But after growing and eating your own fresh produce, you kind of get that way about commercially canned vegetables and fruits in general.

Costco carries good pickled beets.

I add a sliced onion and a bay leaf. And about 12 peeled hard-boiled eggs. It's an Easter thing around here.

My mother ALWAYS had a jar of pickled beets in the house. The very best ones I ever had were at Junior's in NY. They had them on the table with the pickles and I ate the whole dish of beets. I think they were sweet. I wrote to them to see if i could get the recipe, but I never heard back. Would LOVE to see a copycat of those. They were amazing!

I get the Aunt Nellie's sliced pickled beets at the grocery store.  I don't like them unless they're realy pickled.  I like them on my salad.  The ones they have on the Ruby Tuesday salad bar are BLECH!  No taste whatsoever.
