How to Make Grand Marnier Beets

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Add 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tablespoons orange vinegar, and the zest of 1 orange to the saucepan. Whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, until it thickens and becomes translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier and 1 tablespoon triple sec (optional).
  5. Add 1 pound cooked beets, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the saucepan. Gently stir to coat the beets evenly with the glaze.
  6. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the beets are heated through and the glaze is evenly distributed.
  7. Season with salt to taste.
  8. Garnish with thin strips of orange zest before serving.
