Beets (BJ's addition for Harvard beets)

1 gallon beets, boiled and peeled (small whole or sliced, BJ)
4 cups sugar
1 pint vinegar
1 pint liquid (strained beet juice)
1/2 of a 0.62 oz container of whole cloves (BJ's addition)

Original recipe for first four ingredients: Heat to boiling and cook until beets are hot and heated through. Put in jars and seal. (BJ's note: I would also hot water bath process these.)

(To make BJ's Harvard Beets from above ingredients: Put sugar, vinegar, beet juice and whole cloves in pot and bring to boil, stir to dissolve sugar. Set aside to cool and refrigerate overnight. Next day, strain out cloves, add beets and process as above. These beets make a wonderful
addition to any meal.)

(To make Harvard Beets from a 15 oz can of sliced or small whole beets:
Strain beet juice and reserve. Put 1/2 cup sugar in measuring cup, add 1/4 cup white vinegar; add enough beet juice to make 3/4 cup liquid...stir to dissolve sugar. Put 8 whole cloves in container with beets and pour liquid over this. Refrigerate 2-3 hours, overnight is better. Enjoy)
