Pickled Beets And Eggs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 can whole or cut beets
1 c. sugar
1 c. vinegar
2 small sticks cinnamon
1 tsp. whole cloves
1 c. water
8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled

Preparation

Drain juice from beets and add water, sugar, vinegar and spices.
Boil 5 minutes and remove from heat and add beets. Peeled eggs may be added now or later.
Allow to stand at least overnight, refrigerated.
The longer the eggs remain in the beet juice the deeper the red color penetrates into the egg.
More hard-cooked eggs may be added, if desired.
