Beet Puree
This recipe is from The Moosewood Cookbook by Molly Katzen.
  • 2 beets (2 1/2 inch diameter)
  • 1/2 cup apple or orange juice
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • minced fresh tarragon or mint (optional)
1) Cook beets until tender (you can boil them, or roast them on an oiled tray in a 400 degree F oven). Cool until comfortable to handle.

2) Rub off the skins, rough-chop the beets, and put them in a blender or food processor with the fuit juices and vinegar. Puree until smooth.

3) Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in honey, salt, pepper, and possibly the tarragon or mint. If necessary, thin to desired consistency with a little
extra apple or orange juice.

* Serve at room temperature over hard-boiled eggs, potato salad, zuccanoes, or stuffed squash.
