1 tablespoon Grated orange rind
One fourth cup Brown sugar

water to cover for 4560 minutes or until tender. Drain and cover with cold
water; trim off tops and roots and remove skin. Slice One fourth inch thick and
set aside. In medium saucepan, combine cornstarch, salt, allspice, pepper,
orange rind, and brown sugar. Gradually add orange juice, stir until
smooth. Add butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens.
Add beets and heat through. Place in individual serving dishes and sprinkle
with chives.
