Ingredients

Turnip, 1 kg
Beet, 2 units
fresh and red
Water, 1½ L
Salt, 2 heaping tablespoons
5% vinegar, 1 tablespoon

Preparation

1. Gently scrape the turnips (do not peel because the peel retains the turnip during pickling).
2. Peel the beets. Cut the turnips and beets into strips of the desired size and place in a glass jar alternately (while the top layer contains beets only).
3. Fill with salt water as much as necessary to fill the jar (ratio of 1 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of water). Add the vinegar, close the jar and wait a week.
4. The ripening time depends on the weather. After it is ready keep in the fridge (that is only if you don’t finish it all at once).
5. Bon appetite (:

Total time: ±1 week

Equipment: glass jar.
