"Pickled beets are traditionally served as a condiment on open faced Danish Headcheese sandwiches. I also love them along side a pork roast or in so many other ways. I take a shortcut substituting a can of baby beets cutting down the prep time. The onions should be a little bigger than 1/4 inch dice. The prep time does not include marinating overnight in the fridge. This recipe was originally posted on "About Food" with some small changes by me"
