Instructions

  1. Drain beets, saving the juice. Add water if necessary to make 1-1/2 cups of juice. Set aside.
  2. Slice onion and combine with the beets in a glass or non-reactive bowl.
  3. In a sauce pan, heat the beet juice and the vinegar until steaming (not boiling) then add the sugar.
  4. Stir to dissolve the sugar and heat just to a boil.
  5. Pour the hot juice over the beets and onions, stir and let cool.
  6. When cool, cover and refrigerate. They taste best when they have sat for 24 hours.
