AMISH PICKLED BEETS

Steps:

• Trim the leafy tops off the beet stems, leaving 2 inches of stem. In a large saucepan, place beets in enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 35 to 40 minutes or until fork-tender.
• Drain beets, allow to cool slightly, then wearing plastic gloves, (so your hands don't turn purple) slip off the skins and cut into 1/4-inch slices; discard remaining stems. Return sliced beets to the pot and add remaining salt, the sugar, cider vinegar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until warmed through.
• Transfer to a glass serving dish or jar; cover, and chill overnight before serving.
