1 ½ pounds roasted red beets
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
5 tbsp white vinegar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 tbsp kosher salt, or to taste
1 tsp juniper berries
1 tsp whole cloves
1 tsp whole allspice
½ tsp granulated garlic
½ tsp granulated onion

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pot and simmer for one hour or until beets can be puréed in a food mill or food processor. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Process through a food mill or in a food processor (if using a food processor, strain through a fine mesh sieve afterwords). Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator overnight. Process mixture in a blender or food processor in small batches. Force the purée through a fine mesh sieve. Makes 1 quart.
