Time 2h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 medium beets (about 2 lbs)
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons honey (fireweed or sage honey are good)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Scrub beets but do not peel.
  • Place beets in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel beets, cut into quarters and place them in a oven-proof casserole dish, with a lid.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
  • In small saucepan, melt butter and mix in honey and ginger. Season with salt and pepper and pour over beets.
  • Cover with lid and bake 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beets are well glazed.
