Autumn Beet and Red Cabbage Salad

Recipe:

 

1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Pickled Beets, whole or sliced

1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage

1/3 cup red currant jelly

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

1 cup chopped granny smith apple (about 1 small apple)

1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans*

Salt and pepper to taste

 

1. Drain beets and cabbage, combining both liquids into small bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of the combined liquids into a small saucepan; discard remainder. Add red currant jelly and cloves to saucepan; whisk to combine. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until liquid is thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Cool.

 

2. Meanwhile, cut sliced beets in half, or whole beets into wedges. Toss beets, cabbage and green onions with cooled red currant dressing.

 

3. Just before serving stir in apples and pecans. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

 

*To toast pecans, bake nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet in a preheated 350ºF oven until fragrant, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and cool.
