How to Make Beetroot And Dried Cranberries

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup dried cranberries with ½ cup red wine. Gently mash the cranberries to release their juices and let them sit for 15 minutes.
  3. Wash and scrub 1 pound of beets thoroughly. Wrap each beet individually in foil.
  4. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly, then peel and coarsely grate or shred the beets.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add the drained cranberries and wine mixture to the skillet. Add the shredded beets.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded.
  9. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.
