Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup dry red wine such as merlot or shiraz , or apple juice
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
2-1/2 lb. beets, peeled, and cut into bite-size pieces
salt and ground black pepper
honey (optional)
1 tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
lemon wedges (optional)

Directions:

In a large saucepan combine 1/2 cup of the wine, the water, and brown sugar.
Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add beets.
Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes until beets are tender and can be pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally. Drain.
Transfer beets to serving bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Splash with remaining 1/4 cup wine.
Drizzle with honey.
Sprinkle with parsley.
Serve with lemon wedges.
You can avoid staining your hands with beet juice if you wear plastic gloves while peeling and cutting the beets. Trim beet tops or leave tops on.
That's it! Enjoy!
