Orange Beets


from River Road Recipes IV...
Warm Welcomes


INGREDIENTS:

1 pound small beets
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1-1/4 Tablespoons light brown sugar
1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
3/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup water
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon butter 

TO PREPARE:

     Cook the beets in boiling water in a saucepan for 7 minutes or until tender; drain.  Peel and slice the beets.  Combine the cornstarch and brown sugar in a saucepan and mix well.  Stir in the orange juice concentrate, vinegar and water.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Cook until thickened, stirring constantly; reduce the heat to low.  Cook for 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
     Saute the onion in the butter in a skillet until tender.  Add the beets to the sautéed onion and mix gently.  Stir in the orange sauce.  Simmer just until heated through, stirring constantly.  Serve hot or at room temperature.  You may prepare 1 day in advance and store, covered, in the refrigerator.  Reheat before serving. 

NOTE:  These beets are simmered in orange juice and served
       at room temperature as a side dish.  Alternatively,
       the beet mixture may be chopped and served as a
       relish with beef, pork, or game.

SERVES:  6
