Ingredients

Brine

  • 1/4 cup beet juice
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon clove

Beets and eggs

  • 2 cups cooked beets sliced (or small, whole beets)
  • 1 dozen eggs hardboiled, peeled and chilled

Instructions

  1. Heat brine ingredients to boiling. Pour over beets and let stand six hours.
  2. Add hard-boiled eggs and let stand in refrigerator for up to one week. Assuming you can wait that long. I can't. I start snitching them the day after they're put in the fridge.
