How to make pickled beets step by step

Preparation:
Start by washing and peeling the beets. To make the process easier, you can boil them until they are tender and the skin comes off easily. Then cut them into slices or pieces, depending on your preference.
In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons whole cloves, 1-1/2 teaspoons whole allspice (or nutmeg), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
