Steps:
- In a large pot, mix the white vinegar, sugar, water, cinnamon, salt, and cloves together; bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the beets, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars, lids, and rings in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, pack the sliced beets into the hot, sterilized jars, and pour in the beet liquid to fill the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a sterilized knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes. Add more time if you are at high altitude.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

SPICED PICKLED BEETS (REFRIGERATER PICKLES)
My sister in-law has been making these for 30 years or more. When feeling up to it she will can a large batch. But just for simplicity she will make this small batch that does not require canning. I had to stand at her shoulder and write everything down with guesses on the measuring. I really do not liked can pickled beets, they are very bland. I would rather have fresh cooked instead. This is the only recipe I will eat pickled beets. My DH loves the onions. You can use white vinegar, but this tastes better if you use apple vinegar.

Steps:
- Mix beets and onions in large bowl. Put water and sugar into pan. Heat just until sugar has dissolves into the water.
- Take pan off heat. Add vinegar and spices to the pan.
- If you have a contaner large enought to hold all the ingredients, then just mix all items together and put into the fridge.
- We usually pack the beets/onion mixture into two large jars, then split the spices evenly between the two if using whole spices. If using ground, just mix them with the liquid. Last pour liquid over beets to the top. You may have some liquid left over. Cover and refrigerate. These start to taste good after 12 hours, and best after 2 days. They will stay up to 4-6 weeks in the fridge.
