I just add sugar and vinegar until it tastes right that is how my mom taught me not too much of either just a little a time. But check out the web site I am an old fashion cook and do not do much with recipes just have them mostly in my head I started with a recipe and now they are just in the head. put some beets and pickles in a jar, and let the pickles pickle the beets. then lable them HOMEMADE. I have made them by useing canned, sliced beets. Heat the liquid from the can with 2 Tbsp. white vinagar, 2 Tbsp. sugar and a pinch of salt. Pour over beets in a bowl or jar and allow to marinate (pickle) for a day. I have also made pickled hard cooked eggs along with the beets. Optional: add onion slices and /or a cinnamin stick. I just take large jar of pickles and save the juice.Then drain my beets and add onions to them in the pickle juice.Set it in the fridge for 3 days and then they are delicious... the reward to type a recipe Isn't worth it
