2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of beets and oranges seems a bit strange to me.

I've never been a big fan of beets, but this recipe changed my mind. The orange sauce really brought out the sweetness of the beets.

This dish was a hit! The beets were perfectly tender and the orange sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
