Marinated Beets

• 1-2 # beets
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1/4 c vinegar
• 2 Tbsp caraway seeds
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp minced onion
• 1 tsp prepared horseradish
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 5 Tbsp vegetable oil

Wash beets, trim off greens, place in medium saucepan with salted water to cover; bring to a boil then simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel, slice, and place in glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk together water, vinegar, caraway seeds sugar, onion, horseradish, cloves, salt, pepper and oil until sugar and salt dissolve.

Pour over beets and let stand several hours, stirring occasionally, before serving.
