Roasted Beets with Orange Sauce

Roasting the beets serves to intensify their earthy flavor and the orange sauce coats them with an appealing glaze.

Ingredients

4-6 fresh beets

Sauce:

1 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Trim ends from beets and wrap each in foil. Bake until fork tender 60 –70 minutes depending on the size of beets. Remove from oven. Carefully peel beets and cut into 1/4’s or 1/8’s.
While beets are roasting, combine sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Add beets and continue to simmer another 10 minutes. To serve, remove beets with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Drizzle with some of the liquid.
