I really liked the flavour of these beets, although I will probably add more ginger next time. I baked the beets instead of boiling them and then baked them further with the glaze. Very sweet and tasty, thank you :) -
Followed the recipe to the T, except that I added bacon, which I cooked first then added to the sauce before baking, and added pecans right when I took it out of the oven. Although it turned out wonderful, in hind sight I would have added the bacon at the same time as the pecans, right after baking. -
Wonderful recipe! Made exactly as written except that I buyed precooked beets (not pickled! just boiled) because I didn't find fresh ones. Thanks for posting this keeper!<br/>Made for A Rainbow of Colours of the Diabetes Forum. -
These are wonderful!!! I love beets and this glaze just enhances the flavor, it does not overpower the beet. I had a lot of fun peeling the beets, the skin just slides right off after they've boiled. I did use food prep gloves to keep my hands from turning red. This is a great recipe, thanks so much!!! -
Just love beets and this was certainly a tasty way to enjoy them. I roasted my beets in the initial cooks a personal preference to hold more of the flavor and nutrients than proceeded to make them as stated. The honey glaze was really good, though I might add a little more ginger (or perhaps fresh) next time. Will definitely put these on my holiday table. Thanks mikekey!
