This is Josh’s Great Grandfather’s favorite beet recipe that he shared with me years ago.

| In a large pot, use enough water to cover beets with roots and about 2 inches of stem attached until tender. When tender, dip beets in cool water and peel. Combine sugar, spices, vinegar and the 1 1/2 cups of water in a large preserving kettle. Add beets and simmer 15 minutes. Pack beets into hot sterilized jars and cover with boiling hot syrup. Let cool and refrigerate or if you want a longer storage you can pressure can them. Either way, for best flavor, wait about 48 hours before eating. | |||||
