Fantastic! -
A wonderful beet preparation! The flavors are perfect. I roasted my beets by wrapping the cleaned and trimmed beets in foil --no oil and no seasoning. The skins just slipped off after roasting. -
Delicious. I didn't have cider vinegar, so used balsamic. I also left out the bay leaf. Once the syrup was done, I fished out the cloves and dumped it, ginger and all, over the beets. I tried a couple while warm. Outstanding! Could certainly be a warm side dish as well as cold. -
Yowza! I just discovered beets (boy, have I been missing something all these years). This was really, really yummy. Like Sharon123, I cut the recipe in half; it didn't seem to hurt a thing. Absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for posting it! -
