Joan’s Pickled Beets
Cook about 14 medium sized beets. Cool and slip off skins. Chop into 1/2" pieces and put into large pot to heat again.
Make Brine:
2 Cups white sugar
2 1/2 Cups water
2 1/2 Cups white vinegar
1 tsp. allspice
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
Heat brine over medium-high heat until boiling. Pour over beets and simmer about 15 minutes. Keep stirring. Ladle into sterilized jars. Seal with hot lids and rings.
