Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large skillet, whisk together the reserved beet liquid, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear. (3-5 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Gently stir in the sliced beets and tart green apple.

04

Step
15 mins

Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld together. (15 minutes)

For an even more intense flavor, consider using apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice.
A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm, comforting note to the dish.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats or poultry. This dish also pairs well with goat cheese or feta for a delightful salad topping.

    I used a Fuji apple instead of Granny Smith, and it was still delicious, just a bit sweeter.
