Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Place the beets in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until tender.
Remove the beets and let them cool slightly.
Peel the skins off the beets; they should come off easily.
Slice the beets into rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.
In another pot, combine apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add the sliced beets to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, let cool, and transfer to jars. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
