   3      cups          cider vinegar
   3      cups          sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      turmeric
     1/2  teaspoon      whole cloves

     Boil beets in water just to cover until a fork can barely pierce them.
     Mix vinegar, sugar, and spices in large kettle. Bring to a boil, add
beets and onions, and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Pack beets and onions in hot,
sterilized jars. Pour vinegar mixture over beets to within half inch of rim.
Seal and process for 15 minutes in boiling water bath.
