1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.

Are the canned beets usually plain?

My mom used to can the best pickled beets. I think she used my grandma's recipe. I'll have to ask her if she remembers it. I know hers had beets and onions in it, but other than vinegar, I don't remember the spices.

I found one with onions, I will post it.
