To Dobi on March 4, 2009 for her request on Pickled Eggs. Since I no longer can, I had to make an idea of mine, to work for pickled eggs. So I made my pickling sauce for beets.

Pickled Beets

2 cups sugar
2 cups vinegar
1 tablespoon crush (big pieces) cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon whole allspice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon whole cloves

Heat this to boiling, then add 2 -3 cans (15 oz.) of whole or sliced plain beets ( juice too) to boiling mixture and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool until this can be put in container ( I use a glass gallon jar). Then add hard boiled eggs. This will cover 2 dozen egg nicely. Let set in frig or garage (when cold outside). Needs to set at least 2-3 days for eggs to develop color and absorb taste.
Hope this helps, Carolyn from Edon
