Spicy Pickled Beets - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sliced cooked small beets
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Place beets in a sterilized jar.
Combine vinegar, water, brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan, bring to a boil.
Pour over sliced beets, cover tightly, refrigerate for 8 hours or longer until beets are pickled.
(Remove cloves after 3 days.) Store in refrigerator up to 2 months.
Variation: These are best with fresh beets, but if fresh beets are unavailable, well drained canned beets will work nearly as well.
