• Once the beets are cool enough to handle, cut off the tops and use a paper towel to lightly rub the beet from the cut end toward the root to remove the skin. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch dice and set aside.

Press down slightly on the compote and top with enough liquid to cover. Cover with the lid and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 1 week (it may discolor if stored any longer). Serve sprinkled with Maldon salt.
