Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ready In: 40 Minutes
Servings: 6
Leave the root and part of the stem intact until the beet is cooked. The skin should slip easily off the beet under cold, running water.
Ingredients:
6 beets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
dash of ground cloves
Directions:
1. Leave root and 1 inch of stem on beets; scrub with a brush. Place in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain; peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add beets, orange rind, and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beets are tender and sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup.
