Beets will stain your hands (and anything else in sight), so be sure to rinse them thoroughly after cooking and before slicing. A plastic cutting board will be easier to clean than a wooden board.
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 6 medium-sized fresh beets
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. Boil beets in enough water to cover for 40 minutes, or until tender. Drain beets and let cool slightly. Slip off skins and slice.
2. In a saucepan, heat the orange zest, orange juice, butter, honey, and ginger over low heat until the butter melts. Add the beets and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
