ingredients
1 pound medium beets
2/3 cup unsweetened orange juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine, melted

Combine juice, vinegar, and margarine in a bowl. Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients in a large saucepan; stir well. Gradually add juice mixture, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add beets, tossing gently to coat. Cook 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
