Pickled Beets

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe a long time ago. It's my favorite. I cook a big pot of beets and then can them. My brother had to eat sugar free, so its posted both ways.

I cut this recipe into one forth as I am the only one who eats pickled beets in my family, and I didn't want a life time supply. The recipe produces a tasty pickled beet with just the right amount of spice, and it worked out fine for me. I used only one bunch of beets. Made for Let's PARTY tag.Reply
