Sweet and Sour Beetroot
This is a simple, yet delectable way to serve beetroot. Diced beetroot is cooked in a sweetened vinegar. For the best flavour, allow to sit for about a day.

We loved this! I cut down a little on the oil, only used enough to saute the onions, and I added a clove of chopped garlic with the onions. Apart from that, followed the recipe exactly. Thank you - will definately make this again! - 04 Feb 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I needed a way to use up some leftover beets and these were delicious!! The only problem I had was that I used half white vinegar and half red wine vinegar and they were a little more sour than sweet! I will definatley make them again with malt vinegar. - 03 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
These were pretty good. A little too sweet. Also I added a clove of garlic after reading the other review. Next time I'll leave that out. I didn't really think it belonged there and I love garlic. Next time i will hold back on a little of the brown sugar and not add any garlic. Also, I used cider vinegar and it worked just fine. Thanks for the recipe. The 4 stars is based on the sweetness. Not my mistake of adding garlic. UPDATE: Made this again with a little less sugar and they were perfect for our tastes. - 04 Sep 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
