AMISH PICKLED EGGS AND BEETS
This is an easy recipe that my grandmother used to serve in the spring. My brother still refers to this dish as "Easter eggs". Slices of onion or hot pepper may also be added to the pickling liquid with the beets and eggs.

Steps:
- Cut 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 1 hour, or until fork-tender. Drain beets, allow to cool slightly, then 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.

Steps:
- 1. Boil the eggs, cool and peel.
- 2. Put beets, onion and peeled eggs in a large glass or plastic jar that has a lid
- 3. In medium saucepan, combine sugar, 1 cup beet juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, bay leaves and cloves. Boil, then simmer 10 minutes.
- 4. Pour saucepan contents into jar, screw on lid, and refrigerate at least two days.
- 5. **NOTE: Shake up jar two times a day for even coloring. I refrigerate for FOUR days to have the purple hue permeate the entire egg white. Sometimes I cut the eggs in half right before serving for an added visual pizazz! **Also, I've boiled fresh beets, reserving that juice, and have had great-if not better-results.

Steps:
- Boil first four ingredients gently for 5 minutes. Cool the liquid then pour over eggs and beets, cover and let stand overnight (or up to three days) in the refrigerator. To serve, cut eggs in half or quarters. The longer they sit the better they soak up the juice.
Tips:
- Choose small to medium-sized beets. Smaller beets have a more tender texture and cook more evenly.
- Remove the beet greens and roots before cooking. The greens can be saved for salads or other dishes, and the roots can be used to make beet stock.
- Scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Wear gloves when handling beets, as they can stain your hands.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the beets into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly in the pickling solution.
- Use a glass jar or container for pickling the beets. Metal containers can react with the vinegar and alter the flavor of the pickles.
- Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating.
Conclusion:
Amish pickled beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a meal. They are also a great way to preserve beets and enjoy them throughout the year. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own Amish pickled beets at home.
