  Show: Good EatsEpisode: Beet It

I thought these turned out really good. Dan & Judi bought us the beets from Thistle Down (8/10). Everyone ate some.

• 20 baby beets, scrubbed (I had 6 big ones - had to cook longer)
• 2 cups apricot juice (used orange juice)
• 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (didn't have white)
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a large saute pan, add the beets and the apricot juice. Cover and cook on medium high for 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and honey and cook for another 10 minutes. Pull off of the heat and keep covered for an additional 5 minutes.
