RASPBERRY GLAZED BEETS
Ingredients
3 lb beets, trimmed
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
1/4 cup raspberry or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tbsp salted butter
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp grated orange peel
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
Directions
Place beets in a large saucepan; cover with salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 40 - 45 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut into wedges. There should be about 3 cups. Beets may be prepared and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Combine broth, vinegar, orange juice, butter, lemon juice, sugar, orange peel, salt and pepper in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil until mixture is thickened and reduced by half. Stir in beets; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beets are heated through and glazed.
