Eduardo saw this on a cooking show where they were preparing a Halloween meal - I guess the beets in the dark red sauce resembles blood. We like them any time, not just on Halloween.
3 fresh whole beets
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 orange, sectioned, chop each section in 2-3 pieces
crumbled blue cheese
freshly ground pepper
Chop the stems off and wash the beets. Boil for 20 to 30 minutes,
until they are soft enough to be easily penetrated with the tip
of a knife. Run beets under cool water and peel the skins off.
Slice.
Combine orange juice, red wine, and balsamic vinegar in a large
sauce pan or skillet, cook on medium high heat until thickened
and reduced by about 2/3rds.
Arrange beets and chopped orange sections on a serving dish,
pour reduction over them and garnish with blue cheese and
freshly ground pepper.
