SWEET AND SOUR BEETS

Beets have a very robust and earthy flavour. It is best to balance out that rich flavour with sweet and sour notes.

These beets can be a delicious side dish to any Christmas lunch or dinner.

In our family beets are always on the menu for Christmas lunch and dinner. I wanted to change it up this year with sweet and sour beets, which have tons of flavour from the onion, apple and honey, as well as the apple cider vinegar.
