Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
7 pounds beets, about 2 or 2.5 inch diameter beet
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon canning or pickling salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
5 Vidalia or sweet type onions, if desired
directions
Trim off beet tops, leaving 1 inch of stem and roots to prevent bleeding color.
Wash trimmed beets thoroughly. Cover with boiling water and cook until tender -- about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and discard liquid. Cool beets. Trim off roots and stems. Skins will slide off easily. Slice into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and thinly slice onions. Combine vinegar, salt, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
Tie spices in a bundle in a small piece of cheesecloth and add to vinegar mixture. Add beets and onions. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove spice bag. Using a funnel, fill sterilized jars with beets and onions. Leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Add hot vinegar solution, allowing 1/2 inch headspace. Adjust lids and process.
