Drain juice from beet packages into a saucepan and add one cup of water.

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and salt.

Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer to 1-1/2 cups (about ten minutes), then strain out the solids.

Pour liquid over sliced beets in jars and refrigerate for several days.
