Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium beets (without green tops)
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 1/3 cup cran-raspberry drink
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced-calorie stick margarine
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate

Method

  • Leave root and 1-inch stem on beets; scrub with a brush. Place in a large saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain; let cool. Trim off beet roots; rub off skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Combine jam and next 5 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet; cook over medium-high heat until jam and margarine melt, stirring constantly. Add beets; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Combine cornstarch and concentrate; stir until well blended. Add to beet mixture; cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly.
