This has become a favorite of ours, shared by our dear friend Barbie! :)

Boil the beets until soft. Let cool and peel off the skin. Chop up into small chunks.
Mix the beets in a bowl with some apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar, and a little olive oil.
Add some jam to sweeten - raspberry or apricot recommended.
Add some granny smith apples chopped up small like the beets. (the sour of the granny smith is key to the recipe).

Quarter the spaghetti squash and remove seeds. Boil or bake it until it flakes off like spaghetti and is tender when you put a fork in it. Scoop out the squash from the shell and put in a sauce pan. Add water to barely cover the squash and add brown sugar to taste (anywhere from 1/4 cup +? depending on your sweet tooth and the size of the squash. Let it cook in the sugar water until the water turns a little bit more syrupy and the squash seems to have absorbed the flavor.

Serve warm and enjoy!
