And the Beets Go On
This is an appetizing side dish. Their ruby red color and tangy flavor make these beets an excellent choice for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (13-1/4 ounces each) sliced beets, drained
- 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate

I've been making this recipe for many years, ever since it first appeared in the Taste of Home magazine. It's my favorite way to enjoy beets. I use slightly more orange juice concentrate, maybe 1/3 cup instead of 1/4 cup or just add more to taste. When the craving hits, which is every time anyone says the word "beets", keeping the ingredients on hand simplifies the satisfaction I get from throwing them in a pan and heating them up.
There are several beet lovers in my family, so I decided to serve this at Easter dinner. It was so simple to put together and everyone loved it. ( I only used 1 can of beets and it turned out just fine.)
This is by far, the best beet recipe I have eaten. The only thing I will change is using 2 cans of the cranberry sauce instead of 1 so the ratio to the beets is more even. I want the exact amount of sauce on my spoon as the beets. And yes, I eat it with a spoon because the sauce would slip thru the fork tongs.
My whole family loves beets and we eat them often. I was curious about adding cranberries to beets but I have to say We all loved it. You have just the right amount of orange tang to it and the sweetness of the berries WOW! This is a keeper for my family.
I fixed this for a side dish at christmas and I was pleased to find my 20 year old son who does not like beets had 3 helpings!
I'm not a beet fan,but these were great

I have made this dish countless times and just realized I had not posted a comment. Beet lovers rejoice (and after taking this to potlucks I have found there are a lot of us out there). This is a wonderful treat. Easy and addictive. I keep the ingredients on hand at all times.
Was a little skeptical about trying this, I don't care for cranberries. It was delicious, will definitely have it again.
Tried this for the first time this year on T-day. Fast and wonderfully flavorful. This will be a new staple in your T-day menu!
