  1. Yum! I really liked these, some family members were a little reserved about them - but I like beets more than they do. Great colour presentation with a meal.
     
  2. I reduced the butter. Turned out fine. Liked the hint of nutmeg.
     
  3. I love beets! I have made these several times using canned baby beets and they are excellent. Just drain the liquid off the beets and add them to the skillet as in the recipe directions #6. Yummy! Updated from Sept. 23/06 it's spring time and fresh beets are available again, I made these today and added a photo.
     
  4. Made last night with a little modification. I love beets but nobody else cares for them here, so I subbed in carrots. They were canned carrots, since I'm trying to use up a lot of cans that have been kicking around, but fresh would have been much better. Just drained the canned carrots and let them sit whilst making the glaze. Then added the carrots to the pan and let them cook 'til warmed. The nutmeg adds an interesting note to this dish.
