SERVES 4
3 medium fresh beets
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup raisins
Fresh oregano sprigs for garnish
1. In large pot, boil beets until knife easily pierces them to their
centers, 30 to 40 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove beets. Reserve 1/2
cup cooking water. Set beets aside until cold enough to handle. Peel
and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
2. In medium saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon
salt. Mix in beet liquid. Add cider and vinegar. Set pan over
medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture
thickens and almost boils, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beets and raisins. Stir
until beets are heated through, but do not let sauce boil, about 2
minutes. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve warm.
