Beets with Orange

I just love beets, boiled or roasted. So here's a nice one that has a lovely citrus taste to it.

12 -14 small beets, do not peel
butter
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1 - 2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp. dried)
dash of fresh ground pepper

Cook beets in boiling, salted water for about 20 - 25 mins., or until they are barely tender. Let them cool slightly, cut off the stem and roots, and peel.

In pot, melt butter, add the orange peel and orange juice, stir. Add beets, stir. Add tarragon and pepper, mix well. Cook until beets are soft. Serve.

Enjoy,
