For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a few sprigs of fresh dill or a pinch of caraway seeds to the pickling brine. These pickled beets are delicious served chilled on their own, as part of a salad, or as a vibrant accompaniment to grilled meats and fish. Pickled beets will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
