The official MSM Curator version

In a large saucepan, heat 4 cans of sliced red beets. While they are heating, add
vinegar to taste. (We like ours slightly more tart than sweet.) If it becomes too
tart, add a little sugar to remove the edge. Heat the beet mixture until steaming,
but don't boil. Turn down the heat.
Peel and rinse the eggs, put them right in the beet mixture, and continue to heat
for 5 minutes more. Then turn off the heat and let them soak for a while to
absorb the beet juice and flavor.
After they cool some, carefully put the eggs in the bottom of a 1-gallon pickle jar
(this is why every cook should have one). Then cover them with the beets and
juice.
Let the beets and eggs marinate like this in the refrigerator for a day or more
before serving. Mmm ...
