Definately a delicious way to serve fresh beets. When cooking fresh beets, I cut the tops off leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches and leave the root intact. Scrub the beets well and boil for 15 to 20 minutes or until fork tender. I allowed the beets to cool sllightly and then under running water slipped the skins. I used a touch of orange juice instead of the Grand Marnier and an apricot spread for the preserves. I had a sampling while warm and plan to have these as a cold side with lunch today.
