complimentary glaze

I like the way these sesame beets look in this bowl. The deep red/purple color brings out the purple in the glaze. I never cared for beets as a kid - but now I love them. My favorite recipe is from the Moosewood Cookbook.

1 pound beets

2 T fresh lemon juice

1 to 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

1 T toasted sesame seeds

Yum!
