Mandarin oranges and a warm glaze transform canned beets into a super side dish. Lemon juice provides a bit of tartness. If your family doesn't like the tart flavor, I suggest adding a little more sugar. -Shirley Dehler Columbus, Wisconsin

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh or concentrate but fresh is better
2 Tbl. butter
2 (15 oz.) cans sliced beets, drained
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Add lemon juice and butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in beats; heat through. Gently stir in oranges; heat through.

Tips:

  • Choose tender beets: Look for beets with smooth, unblemished skin and deep red color. Avoid beets that are soft or have cracks or blemishes.
  • Roast the beets before glazing: Roasting enhances the beets' sweetness and flavor. To roast the beets, wrap them in foil and bake at 425°F for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make the glaze while the beets are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop flavor.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: Mandarin oranges are a classic choice for glazing beets, but you can also use other citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, or lemons.
  • Add a touch of spice: A little bit of ginger, cinnamon, or cloves can add a warm, cozy flavor to the glaze.
  • Serve the beets warm or at room temperature: Glazed beets can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They are also delicious added to salads or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

These mandarin-glazed beets are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are roasted until tender and then coated in a sweet and tangy glaze. The glaze is made with mandarin oranges, honey, and a touch of spices. These beets are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
