Yummy Beets

It seems you other love or despise beets...but this recipe you are sure to love! Very simple and quick!

First you need to steam the beets. I have had much better luck with steaming than with roasting. Cut the greens off and save them for later. If they are small you don't need to cut the beet at all, but if they are larger beets it is best to cut them in half. Steam them until they are easily poked with a fork. Time will vary with size. Run them under cold water and the skin will rub off in your hands! Cube them into 1 inch pieces.

Combine 3 tbs brown sugar, 2 tbs orange juice and 1 tbs butter in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until it bubbles. Add in the beets. Cook until the liquid is mostly gone and the beets have a nice glaze. Usually 6-8 mins. Then they are ready to serve!

This can work for many other veggies like carrots, parnsips, and turnips. You can also replace the brown sugar with honey.

Yummy!!
