Pickle them, gently and tenderly. Pickled beets. Mmmmmmm.

I have, somewhere at home, my mother's recipe for pickled beets, which she
got from my step-great-grandmother. It involves cider vinegar. It does not
necessarily involve beet juice, though. IIRC, it's water, vinegar, and
some sugar. I can look it up when I get home--for some reason it turned up
yesterday amongst the scribal stuff, and I have no idea why.
