Christine's Notes:

My favorite salad is spinach, pickled beets, Marie's Super Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing and Bacon Bits. Photo is from internet.

Directions

Drain cans of beets. Reserve 1 cup of juice.

Mix salt, powdered cloves and mustard powder with sugar (so it won't clump)

Mix vinegar and sugar mixture to a boil in a 2 qt. sauce pan until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.

Add drained beets and reserved liquid to vinegar and sugar.

Put in glass jars and refrigerate for At LEAST 24 hours.

I make pickled beets every year at this time. with boiled eggs in them. I have a pointer for you to try if you wish. Use red wine vinegar in place of the white vinegar. The delicate flavor is awesome with pickled beets. :)

My Mom always had pickled beets in the fridge, but made them with artificial sweetener. I'm wondering if they wouldn't be great with tarragon vinegar? Hummmmm..... Thanks for posting the recipe. Haven't had them in years but will be making some up real soon!
