45 20 65

Ingredients

  • 3 medium fresh beets (about 1 pound)
  • 24 fresh rosemary sprigs (3 inches)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • POMEGRANATE SAUCE:
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

  • Scrub beets; cut each into 16 wedges. Poke a hole through each wedge with a wooden skewer. Thread two wedges onto each rosemary sprig. Place in a greased shallow baking pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oil, orange peel, ginger, pepper and salt. Drizzle over beets; gently toss to coat. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until beets are tender, turning once.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is syrupy and reduced by half. Stir in brown sugar and water. Serve with beets. Yield: 4 dozen (2/3 cup sauce).
