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. Prepare the Beets
Scrub the beets thoroughly and trim the tops, leaving about 1 inch of stem. Place them in a Dutch oven or large pot and add enough water to cover them completely.
Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the beets simmer, covered, for about 25–30 minutes, or until they become tender.
2. Cool and Slice
Remove the beets from the water and allow them to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and slice the beets into rounds or wedges. Place the sliced beets in a bowl.
