Canning Pickled Beets

Here's how I canned pickled beets. This is an approved Ball recipe.

Sweet Pickled Beets

10 cups prepared beets

2 1/2 cups white vinegar

1 cup water

1 cup granulated sugar

10 cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

Combine vinegar, water, sugar, cloves and cinnamon sticks which have been broken in two. Boil for 15 minutes then add beets and bring back to a boil. Ladle beets into a jar leaving 1/2" headspace. Following standard canning procedures process in a water bath canner for 30 minutes (pint or quart size). Makes about 6 pints.
