on 9/29/2009 I found the following in another pickled beets recipe on eHow: "General proportions for pickling beets are 1 part water to 3 parts vinegar. Sugar and vinegar are included in equal portions or the amount of sugar may be reduced
for a less sweet pickle." Perhaps spice is a personal thing?
