Meme's Easy Pickled Beets

These are so simple to make and taste fantastic! NO COOKING! I took a recipe I found and modified it to me and my families liking. DH loves these! You can modify spices to your liking, add more, add others or cut back...whatever you want! Original recipe called for sugar not Splenda and came from "Favorite Family Recipes Good Country Cookin' Cookbook." I usually double this recipe and I get two quart size wide mouth mason jars full. This time I added a whole clove to each jar. I'll let you know how it comes out! Ya'll let me know your thoughts and ideas on this one ok?! Update: The whole clove in each jar just made this even better! My best friend says they remind her of her childhood. :-D I love making others smile!
