Moms Pickled Beets
"My Mom made these when I was a kid her bothers, brother-in-laws and friends always asked her to make some for them. I'm 64 so they've been around for a long time."
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
4-6 qts.
ingredients
- 2 cups vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick (long ones)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon whole mixed pickling spice
directions
- IMPORTANT! Leave the root and a couple of inches on the top of the beet until they are cooked. This will keep the color in them.
- Boil 4 quarts beets until tender. Remove skins, tops & roots.
- Combine above ingredients bring to a boil, boil 5 minutes. Add beets, let come to a full boil then pack into hot sterilized jars.
- If you want you can put spices into cheese cloth and toss when you are ready to pack into jars. I don't mind the spices in the jars, so I leave them in, I cut the cinnamon stick into fourths I think the flavor gets a little stronger.

I 'm recently retired and love, love to cook. I'm trying to teach my grandchildren to cook, they seem to enjoy it when they make something. Both of my daughters are good cooks and my mom was a great cook
