For a more colorful relish, use a combination of red and golden beets. Serve the pickled beets with poached or smoked salmon, or toss them into a salad made with toasted walnuts, endive, and fresh goat cheese.

Steps:
- Place beets in a large nonreactive saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium, and cook until beets are easily pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a colander, and let drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Let beets cool slightly, then peel. The beets will be easier to peel when still warm. Cut each beet into quarters.
- Combine vinegar, reserved cooking liquid, sugar, salt, and mustard seed in a large nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and continue boiling 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and add beets; let stand, covered, overnight at room temperature.
- Transfer mixture to jars or airtight containers, and store, covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
