Steps:
- In a large pot, mix the white vinegar, sugar, water, cinnamon, salt, and cloves together; bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the beets, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars, lids, and rings in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, pack the sliced beets into the hot, sterilized jars, and pour in the beet liquid to fill the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a sterilized knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes. Add more time if you are at high altitude.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

MARINATED BEETS WITH CHARRED ONION CREMA
I love this recipe for traveling because I can marinate the beets ahead of time and they hold up well. You can then bring along accompaniments on the side, that add new elements, like crunch, and add them to make the final dish later. In this recipe I use harissa, a North African chile paste made from sun-dried chiles. I like to use it because it has an approachable chile flavor without all the heat.

Steps:
- Scrub the beets to remove any residual dirt and trim the tops and tails but leave the skin on. Cut in half and place in a medium pot, then add water to cover by at least 1 inch. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the beets until fully tender, testing by piercing to the center of the largest beet with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the beets, and while they are still warm to the touch, use your not-favorite kitchen towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges, taking care to keep the like-colored beets together, but separate from the other colors.
- Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and honey in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and whisk again to combine. Add the Pickled Shallots and the beets and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the Charred Onion Crema on the bottom of a serving platter. Top with the beets, herbs and Harissa Breadcrumbs.
- Cut the shallot into 1/8-inch rings and place in a medium metal bowl. Separate the layered rings with your fingers and try to keep the rings as whole as possible.
- Combine the apple cider vinegar, beet juice, sugar, salt and a few turns of pepper in a small pot. Whisk the mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk one more time to make sure everything is fully combined. Remove the pot from the heat and pour over the prepared shallot rings. Stir the rings to make sure they are fully covered. Allow the shallots to cool naturally, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut the onion into 1/2-inch slices or wheels. Place the onion wheels in a dry cast-iron pan set over medium heat. Allow the onions to char deeply on one side, 10 to 15 minutes, then flip them over and char the other side, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the onions to cool slightly.
- Place the onions in the bowl of a high-powered blender and pulse a few times to break them up and release any remaining steam. Let the onions cool down for another few minutes, then add the crema to the blender. Blend the onions and crema, then season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel the outer crust off the boule. Cut the remaining bread into 1- to 2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you have small and consistent breadcrumbs.
- Pour the olive oil into a medium saute pan set over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the harissa paste. Whisk in the harissa paste until it is dispersed throughout the oil.
- Place the untoasted breadcrumbs in a large bowl and drizzle the garlic and harissa oil over the top, stirring and flipping the breadcrumbs to ensure even coverage.
- Lay the coated crumbs on a sheet tray and bake until crispy and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the toasted crumbs and scrape onto a paper-towel lined sheet tray to drain any excess oil. Season with salt while the crumbs are still warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Cut off all but 1 to 2 inches of the beet stems, and don't cut off the root ends. (This helps retain flavor and keep the color from bleeding.) Put the beets on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the beets are tender when tested with the tip of a knife. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Discard the root ends. Peel the beets, discarding the skins. Cut the beets crosswise into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Place the beets in a single layer in a shallow glass dish, such as 12 x 8 x 2 inches.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the remaining ingredients. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the beets, making sure all the beets are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours, stirring once or twice if all the beets are not covered in liquid. Drain and discard the marinade before serving the beets.
- Red beets can stain, so you might want to wear an apron and plastic gloves when peeling and cutting the cooked beets. If you don't use gloves, you can sprinkle your hands with salt and rub them vigorously, then wash them with soap and water to eliminate stains.

BRAISED SPICED BEETS
This one came from the New York Times, January 17th, 1999. I'm not sure what unit a "bunch" is, but hey, try for a couple or three in a bunch. You can use chicken stock instead of the vegetable stock.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, without any blemishes or bruises. Smaller beets tend to be more tender and flavorful than larger ones.
- Prepare the beets properly: Before cooking, trim the tops and bottoms of the beets and scrub them well to remove any dirt or debris. You can leave the skin on or peel it off, depending on your preference.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different combinations to find what you like best. Some other good options include cumin, coriander, and fennel.
- Marinate the beets for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the spices to penetrate the beets and make them more flavorful. You can marinate the beets for longer if you have time, but 30 minutes is the minimum.
- Roast the beets until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the beets. Check them with a fork or knife to make sure they are tender before removing them from the oven.
