Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 -6 tablespoons pickling spices, with bay leaves (see note)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans beets, including juice
  • 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Method

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil to dissolve sugar.
  • Place peeled eggs in a container; pour beets and pickling juice over them.
  • Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.
  • NOTE: I tie the pickling spices in a piece of cheesecloth. Otherwise, the spices stick to the eggs and beets. Just keep the ball of spices in with the eggs and beets -- do not discard it.
