This isn't "sweet jam" with lots of sugar, instead you'll take advantage of the natural sweetness of the beets, carrots and onion to make a slightly sweet spread that's great for bread or even on it's own. The trick is to slowly cook the veggies on low heat to bring out their sugars :)

Makes about 1/2 cup~
