INGREDIENTS:

* 1 cup sugar
* 2 cups cider vinegar
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
* 1 tablespoon whole allspice
* 15 medium beets, untrimmed and unpeeled
* 3 medium onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
* 18 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled

PREPARATION:
Combine the sugar, vinegar, water, salt, cloves, allspice, in a saucepan and place over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.

Wash the beets and trim the stems, leaving about 1 inch of stem. Place in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the beets are just tender. Drain, cool, and peel them. Place the beets, onions, and hard-boiled eggs in a large jar and pour the sugar-vinegar mixture over them. Cover tightly, allow to cool, and store in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
