Ingredients
2 cups sugar2 cups water2 cups distilled white vinegar1 teaspoon ground cloves1 teaspoon allspice1 tablespoon cinnamonBoil Syrup for 10 minutes
Select small, young beets, cook until tender, dip into cold water. Peel off skins. Slice or cube the beets to desired size.
TIP: do not cut off tops or bottoms as the color will fade. Cut off greens 1" from top.
Tip: Beets must be hot while peeling, so do not let them cool, and dip into water quickly.
Tip: Fill jars about 1" from the top. When pouring the syrup in the jars, fill almost to top (make sure beets are covered). Wipe the top off so you get a good seal. You only need to snug the lid on. Sit jar top down for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn them back right side up. As the jars cool you will hear popping, this is the sound of a good seal. After they cool for 10 to 12 hours they should all be sealed. IF by chance you have some jars that did not seal, put them back in boiling water for about 20 minutes, let them cool again. If they still do not seal put them in the refrigerator and use these first. My dad says you can sample them in a couple of weeks, but full effect will take about 4 to 6 months. ENJOY
It took me 9 hours total to cook, peel & slice the beets. Total cooking time was 2 hours. I made 9 batched. I canned 2 bushel. The syrup makes 2 quart jars = to 8 servings.
