Ingredients

  • Three large red beets
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 c. sugar (I think this is optional but a lot of recipes have it
  • 1/2 c. red wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim beets leaving about 1-2 inches of stems.
  2. Do not trim the root or the beet will bleed out.
  3. Cover with water and boil them gently for about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Insert a skewer to see if tender.
  5. Remove from pan and cool.
  6. The skin will slip off.
  7. Slice the onion into slivers.
  8. Put a layer in the bottom of a quart jar.
  9. Slice off top of the beets and pull the stems to add to the canning jar.
  10. Slice beets as thin as you like (1/4 inch is good) and alternate beets and onions in the canning jar.
  11. You can add a peeled hard boiled egg or two.
  12. Add sugar and vinegar to beet water and bring to a boil.
  13. Strain and add to canning jar.
