CSA member Debby shares this recipe and says it is fast, good tasting (all that sugar) and doesn't heat up the kitchen.  Perfect for summer beets!

• 1 bunch of beets
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup onion, sliced
• 1 1/2. cup vinegar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4 - 6 whole allspice berries
• 3/4 cup water

Boil your beets whole until just tender.  Peel and slice. Bring vinegar, sugar, spices, and water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.  Add beets & onions to liquid and bring back to boil. Pour into jars.  Put on lid.  Let cool. Refigerate and eat.
