Balsamic-Honey Beets

"A wonderful fusion of flavours. Goes well with most any dish but especially good with full-bodied meats. Pre-cook beets in their skins by baking in foil at 200 Celsius for 1 hour. Alternatively, autocook without added moisture in microwave. preparation time does not include pre-cooking."

  1. Delicious. Even the non-beet eater liked them. Great flavors from the honey and balsamic. Will be making these again. I steamed the greens and drizzled some of the sauce on them also. Made for the Think Pink 2011 game.
     
  2. This was my first attempt at making or eating any kind of beets. The first time I made it, I accidentally poured all the sauce on at once and skipped the second baking time. The second time, I made it correctly. I enjoyed both, but I think I actually liked the "incorrect" attempt better. On the "correct" attempt there wasn't really any sauce left over to serve over the beets; on the "incorrect" one there was. I liked having the sauce over them (and not baked onto the pan).

Born and bred and live in South Africa. Love food and cooking (doesn't everyone here?) and sports and nature. Less fond of people (unless I know them very well). Absolutely hate pretense and political correctness - as unsavoury and false as commercial baloney.
