A unique combination of autumnal flavors!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 beets (approximately 2 pounds total)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/3 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- apple juice
- 1/4 cup seedless blackberry preserves
Instructions
- Trim the top and bottom of the beets, peel, and grate
- Melt butter in a large saucepan, add onions and cook until they just begin to brown
- Add the beets, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper, cover and cook over medium-low heat until the beets are tender, 35 – 45 minutes, stirring occasionally
- While the beets are cooking, slice the apples in half crosswise, remove the core and if necessary, trim a bit from the top and bottom to give your apple halves a flat, stable base
- Place the apples in a pan and add about half an inch of apple juice, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, turning once, until the apple is tender, about 15 minutes
- Stir the blackberry preserves into the beets and heat until melted (if you can’t find seedless, heat the blackberry preserves or jam and strain out the seeds)
- Serve the beets on top of an apple half
