Orange Beets

I saved this Orange Beets recipe as soon as I saw it. While pickled beets are a favorite here I thought it would be fun to try a hot side dish recipe, and we all loved it! The orange and allspice are a nice flavor combination with beets. The original recipe calls for fresh beets, I used canned, either will work fine. If your crew is a fan of beets, don't hesitate to give this a try folks:@)
