Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 medium beets (2 pounds)
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped crystallized ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in Dutch oven (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place beets in steamer basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Steam 45 to 50 minutes (add boiling water during steaming if necessary) or until tender; drain.
  • Place beets back in Dutch oven (without steamer basket). Stir in orange peel, orange juice and brown sugar. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce is reduced and beets are glazed. Stir in parsley and ginger.
