For a deeper flavor, try using apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. A pinch of ground cloves or cinnamon can add warmth and complexity to the dish. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Freshly cooked beets can be used in place of canned beets. Simply boil or roast the beets until tender, then peel and slice them before adding them to the recipe.
