Ingredients:

  • 6 -7 lbs beets, with tops (2 to 2 and a 1/2 inch)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup pickling salt
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (2 inch)
  • 1/2 tsp whole cloves
  • 1 -2 medium onion, sliced

Directions:

  1. Wash beets.
  2. Trim tops to about 3 inches and leave on root ends.
  3. Place cleaned beets in an 8 to 10 quart saucepan, and cover with water.
  4. Cover, and cook beets over medium-high heat til skins slip off easily, about 20 minutes.
  5. Drain and discard water.
  6. Trim off tops and roots, slip skins off.
  7. Slice beets about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. In a 4 to 6 quart saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, 2 cups water, pickling salt, and spices.
  9. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  10. (Keep brine mixture hot while you fill jars with beets and onions).
  11. Fill each jar with a layer of beets, first, then, a layer of onion slices.
  12. As you add layers, push down gently with a wood spoon.
  13. Pack jars just to bottom of the neck of the jar.
  14. I always set the packed jar in a pan of hot water, (fill hot water to about 1/2 way up the jar, and put a table knife down inside the jar between the beets and the inside surface of the jar.- This helps to keep the jar from breaking when adding the hot brine).
  15. Slowly, pour brine in jar until beets are covered over about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
  16. Move table knife gently in an up and down motion, all around the jar to remove any air bubbles.
  17. Clean the rim of the jar and threads with a wet cloth, set hot, sterilized seal cap on top, place ring on, and cinch down firmly- not too tight, but, firm.
  18. Place filled jars in Boiling Water Canner, hot, gently boiling water to cover jars, place lid on canner, and process for about 30 minutes.
