2 cups distilled white vinegar, 5% acidity
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions:
Put sugar, water, vinegar and spices in large pot.

Add drained beets to pot, cover, and return to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pack beets in hot sterilized pint jars.
Pour hot liquid into jars, leaving 1/4-inch headroom.
Use a sterilized spoon handle to remove any air bubbles.
Seal with hot, sterilized lids.
Put jars into a hot water bath with water covering the top of the jars by 1-2 inches.
Cover, bring water bath to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.
Simmer in water bath for 30 minutes.
