Roasted Rainbow Baby Beets

We made a tasty dish with our baby rainbow beets a couple nights ago.  Here's the recipe:

Roasted Baby Rainbow Beets

baby rainbow beets
olive oil
salt
peach preserves
butter

Wash beets and place in roasting dish with salt and olive oil.  Cook covered in oven at 350 for 1 - 1.5 hours or until beets are tender.  Once cooled, trim the ends, peel skins off and slice into thin rings. Combine melted butter and peach preserves and mix with beets to coat. 
We used Peach Habenero preserves (given to us by CSA member, Paula, last Fall) and the combination was absolutely delicious. 

Although the cellared winter beets are not as fresh as in summertime there is something very satisfying about them.  If you haven't yet had a chance to try them, I hope you will soon!

We will have baby rainbow beets at both Ft. Collins Old Town Be Local Market and Denver Urban Homesteading Market tomorrow.
