I am looking for a recipe... or rather method.. I don't know but I was in Edinburgh 5 years ago and while in a market came across a crate full of what looked like fresh beats.
When I grabbed one to put into a bag it was squishy! someone noticed my shocked look and said "they are pickled". I took another look and noticed that some of them still had little bits of dirt and even a pebble here or there.
I bought one and later wished I had bought more! The skin on the beats pealed easily with just my fingers. They were more earthy than pickled beats in jars and only slightly acidic. They were not really what I would call overly sweet. They were AMAZING!!.
I am hoping someone reading this knows what I am talking about and can tell me how they are produced.
