Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large pot cook the unpeeled beets until fork-tender (do not overcook) cool and then remove the skins.
Step 2
Slice into about 1/4-inch thick or cut into cubes.
Step 3
Pack snuggly into the canning jars (be careful not to bruise).
Step 4
In a large saucepan combine the sugar, water, vinegar, ground cloves, allspice, cinnamon and whole cloves; bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes (no sugar granules should remain).
Step 5
Quickly pour over the beets in the jars, leaving 3/4-inch headspace (the liquid should go no further than the shoulder of the jar!).
Step 6
Process in a boiling water bath for 12 minutes. Cool on a rack.
