This is a "quick" recipe. If you want to use fresh beets, get directions from your canning books!

I am sure you could substitute the sugar with Splenda. However, we have not tried it in our Test Kitchen so we can not guarantee the results. Good luck and enjoy!

can you add hard boiled eggs to this to make pickled eggs?

I am sure you could but if using in that manner you should not drain the beets as you want the beet liquid to color the eggs. I would also suggest doubling the ingredients as that amount of liquid would not submerge very many eggs.
