Spicy Hot Beets are pickled with sugar, vinegar, and spice to provide a wonderful spicy flavor. The spicy tart-sweet taste of pickled beets makes them a natural accompaniment to egg and cheese dishes. Use pickled beets instead of tomatoes to help spice up your winter green salads. Combine baby spinach, pickled beets, orange or tangerine sections and a little red onion. Pickled beets stand up well to the stronger tastes of gourmet greens like arugula and mesclun mixtures. Use pickled beets instead of red peppers in some old Italian favorites. Layer slices of beets and mozzarella on a plate with a little olive oil and basil--add some crusty bread, and lunch is ready. Make pickled beets an addition to your next antipasto platter.
