- Place the beetroots into a large saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover the beetroots by 2.5cm. Bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the beetroots are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes; drain.
- Whisk together the dark brown soft sugar, vinegar, water, cornflour, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a saucepan. Add the beetroots and the butter, turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to the boil. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about a minute or two. Serve beetroots hot or cold.

I made these for thanksgiving and they were a huge hit! My husband and I love beets but i have never had them prepared like this before, but i loved the apple, and the holiday spicing was wonderful! Just the right amount of spicy and sweet. I will definitely make this again and again! - 25 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Freezing ahead of time was the initial appeal for me, but these were really good using fresh beets, and I wanted you to know that I used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and it was still great. Looking forward to just thawing and serving this at holiday time! - 18 Oct 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
