2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup water
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub beets; wrap each beet individually in foil. Place in a rimmed baking pan. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until fork-tender. Unwrap and cool completely. Peel and cut into wedges.

Pour hot vinegar mixture over beets in jar. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
