How to Make Beets With Apples In Special Sauce

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the beet liquid, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the preheated skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes clear (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Gently stir in the diced cooked beets and diced apple.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the flavors have melded.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more salt, sugar, or vinegar to your preference).
  7. Serve warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
