I have been using this recipe for about 25 years now when our beets come off. We love them. I got the recipe from a CANNING, PRESERVING,& FREEZING COOKBOOK (Favorite Recipes Of Home Economics Teachers) that I sold to my Mom when I was in Home Economics In 1974. She used this book & now it's mine. One of my favorites.

Steps:
- 1. Wash beets thoroughly, leaving 2" of tops & roots.

- 3. Plunge into cold water 2 times to prevent bleeding.
- 4. Remove skins & cut top off level & root.
- 5. Combine water, vinegar & sugar in large saucepan & bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- 6. Add beets & heat, but do not boil.
- 7. Pack in sterilized jars. Cover with hot juice to neck of jar.
- 8. Place lids & bands on jars.
- 9. Process in hot water bath for 30 minutes.
- 10. Serve hot as a vegetable or cold on relish trays.
- 11. Peggi's note: I use larger beets sometimes , but just make sure when you cut them in half or quarter them that they are all the same size so they cook uniformly. We eat them cold as a side. This recipe never said if you put them in quarts or pints, but I always can mine in pints.
