I cooked the beets, sliced in my steamer machine. Then I was too lazy to do zest, so I used only the brown sugar and orange juice. It was great. Thanks Stephanie. Made for Bevy tag.

    As a beet lover I am in constant pursuit of new ways to enjoy these garden jewels. This one was a treat and a welcome addition to my collection. Given this dish uses juice rather than marmalade, the flavors in this dish were much lighter and cleaner than many other recipes joining the two ingredients. I could not taste the brown sugar at all and wonder if it could be omitted altogether. For the sake of ease, I used the vacuum packed baby beets imported from France. Thanks cookiedog.

    Simple and quick. I liked the citrus flavour with the sweet of the beet.
