DELICIOUS! These are so yummy. I used half the amount of sugar because of the natural sweetness of the beets. The heat from the Dijon, the acidity of the vinegar & lemon, and the earthiness of the beets make a divine combination. Can't wait to see how good these are tomorrow after marinating overnight. Thanks for the awesomely addicting recipe!

Neither my husband nor I enjoyed these- and we love beets. For me, it was the vinegar-y taste that did me in.

I love beets so much and so I knew I needed to try this recipe ASAP. The sauce is so good and works great with the beets. I'm saving this recipe for future!

I decreased the sugar by 1/2. I really enjoyed the beets, One time I doubled the marinade ( still decreasing the sugar). Both were wonderful. I like the recipe better the next day, I prefer this with something light like fish or chicken. I think beef is a bit heavy for it.
