“Pickled Swiss Chard”

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 4 cups swiss chard stems cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups white or rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seed
  • 1 medium red beet peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients - except the chard stems - in a large pot and bring to boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Add the chard stems and store in mason jars or other airtight containers in the refrigerator. If you so desire, you can process the jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to preserve them for storage outside of the fridge. Consult a canning guide for these steps.
