2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (outside skin only, no white pith) |
1 cup finely chopped almonds |

2. Let cool, peel and dice.
3. Combine diced beets, sugar and ginger in medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat 30 minutes.
4. Add chopped lemon and continue cooking until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 30 minutes.
5. Stir in almonds.
