Beets And Carrots With West Indian Spices

The Word of God apart from the Spirit of God will be of no use to you. If you cannot understand a book, do you know the best way to reach its meaning? Write the author and ask him what he meant. If you have a book to read and you have the author always accessible, you need not complain that you do not understand it. The Holy Spirit has come to abide with us forever. Search the Scriptures, but cry for the Spirit’s light and live under His influence.

C.H. Spurgeon

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Beets, about 4 medium
1	lb	Carrots, sliced
2	T	Grated fresh gingerroot
1/2	c	Brown sugar
1/2	c	Orange juice
1/4	c	Cider vinegar
		Grated zest of 1 orange
1/2	t	Ground cinnamon
1/2	t	Mace

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the beets well and cut off the leaves, leaving an inch or so of
stem. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil and simmer, covered  until
tender, about 40 minutes. Drain and cover with cool or lukewarm  water.
When cool enough to handle, slip off the skins. Cut the beets  into
slices or chunks.  Peel and cut the carrots into slices or chunks,
resemling the beets  in size and  style.  Steam or boil in lightly
salted water about 5 minutes or until  tender but not soft. Drain.
Combine the ginger, sugar, orange juice, vinegar, orange zest and
spices in a saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until
thickened. Simmer the cooked beets and carrots in this sauce for  about
5 minutes.  Note:  Alternatively, you may bake the beets in a
foil-covered pan for  about an  hour.  When cool, slip off the skins.
Cut the beets into slices or  chunks.  Since I didn't want to waste the
beet tops, I sliced the green beet  tops and steamed them and when I
combined the sauce with the cooked  beets and carrots, I  also added
the steamed beet tops.  This came from the Eat More, Weigh Less book by
Dr. Dean Ornish.  Posted by JOHN & LISA DEBOVSKI
