Ingredients
Roasted Beets:
1 pound red beets (about 3 medium, trimmed and scrubbed)
Sugar Mixture:
1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Roast the Beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet tightly in foil and roast for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Peel and chop into small pieces.
- Prepare the Jam: Pulse chopped beets in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a saucepan, add sugar mixture, and simmer over medium heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently until jam-like.
- Cool and Store: Remove from heat, cool slightly, then transfer to jars. Refrigerate; jam will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- This jam pairs well with goat cheese, soft cheeses, or charcuterie.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or follow proper canning procedures for longer storage.
