Want something new to do with a CAN OF BEETS?
I found a great recipe from B. Baumgardner of North Carolina in a Cooking for One or Two Book. It is DELISH! Love it!
I did make a few changes of my own from her original. I made the sauce a little thicker and I also added the raisins to cook IN the sauce to soften them a bit instead of adding them at the end.
Orange juice, brown sugar, raisins, beets…. what’s not to love!
It is so quick to make!
Try it, I think you will like it!
Enjoy!
