ROASTED BEET JAM
This spicy jam recipe is from my Russian grandmother, who had no written recipes and who gave a few jars of the jam as gifts. I re-created the recipe from memory and think of her each time I prepare it. If you want to increase the yield, it's easy to double the recipe. I like to serve the jam on buttered toast or with cream cheese on toasted pita. The jars, which are dark red from the beets, make a welcome gift.-Susan Asanovic, Wilton, Connecticut

Steps:
- Wash and peel the beets.
- Put them through a meat grinder or grate them.
- In a pot, barely cover them with water and cook them slowly until they are tender.
- Add the sugar, the ginger, the lemon juice and rind.
- Cook until thick and clear, which will take about an hour.
- Add the chopped nuts.
- Makes about 3 quarts.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Use fresh, firm beets that are about 2-3 inches in diameter. Smaller beets tend to be sweeter and more tender.
- Roast the beets before using them: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to blend.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in beet jam, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Don't overcook the jam: Overcooked jam will be thick and gummy. Cook the jam until it has reached a thick, spreadable consistency.
- Let the jam cool completely before using it: The jam will thicken as it cools, so it's important to let it cool completely before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Beet jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in many different ways. It's perfect for spreading on sandwiches, crackers, or toast. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted meats or vegetables. And it's a great addition to cheese plates or charcuterie boards. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to use beets, give beet jam a try. You won't be disappointed!
