David's Momma's Pickled Beets

My good friend David, living large by the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine, Florida, shared his stash of pickled beets, and his dear mother's recipe, with me on a recent visit.  They are soooo good!  And so easy!  I've adjusted the quantities to make enough for a one quart jar.  But, other than that, what's to say except, thanks mom!!

Add all into a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  Add beets and simmer for 20 minutes.  Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.  They are ready to eat in 24 hours (but the longer the better :)
