Ingredients:

• 8 medium fresh beets
• 1 cup vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
• 1-1/2 teaspoons whole allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Start by scrubbing the beets and trimming the tops to about 1 inch. Place the beets in a Dutch oven and add enough water to cover them.
2. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let the beets simmer, covered, for about 25-30 minutes or until they’re tender. Once the beets are tender, remove them from the water and allow them to cool.
3. Once the beets are cool, peel them and slice them into your desired thickness. Place the sliced beets in a bowl and set them aside.
4. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, cloves, allspice, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for about 5 minutes.
5. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the sliced beets, making sure they’re completely submerged. Let the beets marinate in the brine for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
6. Before serving, drain the pickling liquid from the beets.
