[email protected]I didn't have any cider vinegar on hand, so I used white vinegar instead. It worked out just fine.

[email protected]The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

[email protected]I found that the beets took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to simmer them for about an hour before they were tender.
