This recipe was exactly what I was looking for-- quick, easy, and delicious. I substituted apple juice and maple syrup (for apricot and honey, and apple-cider vinegar. I used quartered regular-sized beets instead of baby beets. The glaze adds extra sweetness. You can pour the excess on some of the beets to make them more kid-friendly. The beety-flavor was still there, but I agree with the other reviewer who said it diminished the natural flavor. The skins can be easily peeled after cooking if desired. I had mine with the skins on.

Being a Beet-Lover, my opinion of this Alton Brown recipe is that it's a fair spin on a beet. The finished product has a strong yet very pleasant flavor, mixing tangy with sweet, tart with mellow. I noticed a hint of each ingredient as an integral component with not too much of any single flavor. The end result is a classic Polynesian style "Sweet & Sour Beet" if you will. The sauce was velvety and rich. However, I like Beets just fine boiled with a hint of vinegar, so this recipe, a powerhouse of complex flavors, in my opinion diminishes the natural flavor beets.
Now for the opinion of a Beet-hater, my wife has said she prefers this dish over the classic boiled beet. The sentiment is that it doesnt taste like dirt. (her words not mine The flavor starts very un-beet-like, sweet and flavorful, and finishes with a beet flavor, the beet flavor is what she would prefer not to taste at all... cant please 'em all, but this dish comes close.
So, all in all, I rate this a 4 out of 5. The beets have definate character and the flavors are a complex mix... you may feel it is too intense, or you may love it. Give it a try, I used Kern's Apricot Nectar, Wild Honey, and White Balsamic vinegar. If Baby beets are not available, simply cut medium beets in half, then cut the halves in half (2 perpendicular cuts.. Works great!
