Beets are very popular in Eastern Europe, and this red beet marmalade is the perfect combination of sweet-and-tangy flavors. It can be used as a breakfast marmalade or a condiment that can be used to top meats and poultry. Or serve it atop toasted bread circles with a grating of cheese as an appetizer.

1 (1-pound) jar beets, julienned, drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch ginger
1/2 cup red wine vinegar, or balsamic vinegar

Gather the ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add beets and sauté 10 minutes. Add sugar, salt, pepper, and ginger. Cook about 2 minutes or until sugar has dissolved.
Carefully add vinegar. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid has evaporated and beets are caramelized and thickened, stirring frequently. This will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Watch the beets carefully, so they don't burn.
Serve warm or cool and store covered in the refrigerator. Reheat as necessary.
Enjoy.
