Pickled Beets with EggsCombine the sugar, vinegar, water, salt, and spices in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve. Wash the beets and trim the stems, leaving about 1 inch of stem. Place in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the beets are just tender. Drain, cool, and peel them. Place the beets, onions, and eggs in a large jar and pour the sugar-vinegar mixture over them. Cover tightly, allow to cool, and store in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
