Back some time ago in this fabulous thread about beets pickling them was brought up.
I have a few comments about this.
When you are making your liquid to put in the beets there is only one thing that is important and that is the acidity.
I will get to that later.
If you dont like the taste of this liquid you will not like the taste of the beet or pickle.
If it is too sour then feel free to put in more sugar to make it the way you want It this will not hurt anything if it is too sweet go the other way and add less,
This and the spices are your choice they are not set in stone.
In other words get the acidity right and tinker with the spices till you like them.
Let the spices sit in the hot water for a while and taste you can over power with some real fast like cloves.
My favorite way is to use pickling spices and cinnamon sticks.
