Beets and Red Onions

Recipe :

• ½ cup cider vinegar
• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 1 large red onion cut in wedges
• ¼ cup water
• ½ tsp salt
• 4-8 small beets

Cut tops off of beets, wash and steam the beets until tender. After they have cooled the skins will slide right off. If beets are small they may be left whole, or slice and quarter. Place in a bowl that can be sealed. In saucepan combine vinegar, sugar, water and remaining spices. Bring to a boil and stir occasionally. Stir in onion. Return to a boil, reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until tender. Pour onion mixture over beets and let stand covered for 30 minutes. Seal bowl and refrigerate overnight before serving. Can be sliced and served over salad or by itself with feta cheese sprinkled on top.
