8 medium beets
(about 2 pounds)
2 teaspoons grated orange
peel
2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
(optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Cut the tops from
beets, leaving 1 inch of stem. Wash the beets and steam in a basket over
boiling water. Make sure to have a tight fitting lid. Heat to boiling,
reduce heat to low and steam 1/2 to 1 hour for young beets. Add boiling
water as needed. When the beets are done, cool slightly and slip off the
skins. Slice or cut into quarters.
Place the beets into a large sauce pan or Dutch oven and add orange juice,
peel and brown sugar. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat stirring often,
until sauce is reduced and beets are glazed. (About 6 to 7 minutes) Stir
in parsley and ginger.
