Ingredients
2 large beets skinned and cubed
1/2 cup or bunch of chopped mint to taste
1 large shallot thinly sliced
1/2 cup pecan halves and pieces
2 cloves garlic
handful chopped dried and pitted bing cherries
1/4-1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

- In the bowl, add the pecans, some should be full halves and some pieces.
- Add 1/4 cup of the mint.
- Into the pot with the remaining beet water, add the vinegar and maple syrup. Heat quickly so it starts to look like a glaze.
