Using up pickled beets...?

[Cat]

I made some pickled eggs for my DH and lilDD. The ones we love are boiled eggs, peeled, and then pickled in the leftover beet juices from canned pickled beets.

 

I just put the eggs into a half gallon jar and dumped almost two jars of beets and juices on top. Great eggs.

 

But now I have way too many leftover pickled beets to just nibble on. I looked up "recipes using pickled beets" and see that some people use them like chopped pickles in macaroni and potato salads. I might try that. Sounds like the salad turns a pretty pink!

 

Anyone else have ideas?

 

 

 

OH... and I saw this quote in the responses. It cracks me up. Somehow the phrase "TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" seems rather appropriate...

 

I ate an entire jar of them once, straight up, when I was little. Delicious. I pooped purple the next day.

No advice on a recipe but laughed out loud at the purple poop.

I put them in tossed salads but then I put everything but the kitchen sink in salads.

I love beets any way you can make them. Harvard beets are my favorite. I also like them with orange butter sauce.I don't make beets often because I'm the only one that likes them but Dh will help me eat them. I didn't know he didn't care for them until the kids were old enough to whine about me making them.

Love beets. Pickled and otherwise. Also pickled eggs in pickled beet juice.

 

My MIL once ran for the emergency room, thinking she had blood in her urine.....

I wonder if you rinsed them if you could use them in Borsch (sp?). Might even be good not rinsed.

 

Or use them with smoked sausage, taters, carrots instead of kraut?

I chop mine, add miracle whip and raw chopped onions for a pickled beet salad. Some prefer sour cream. It does make a loverly pink salad...

I also use mine in 3 bean salad.

Growing up, we are them as a side dish at meals. We usually had bowl of pickled beets or salad or applesauce next to our plate. Both applesauce and beets were home-canned. We only had pickled eggs and beets for holidays and picnics. (I never liked hard boiled eggs, so it didn't matter to me.)
