Florence Walter, used to make these. They are especially great for picnics. The combination of pickled eggs, beets, and onions is really something special. A great way to use up left-over Easter-eggs too!"

1.Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
