2 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
6 medium beets (about 1 pound), roasted
3 large naval oranges (2 for segments and 1 for zest and juice)

In a small bowl combine the softened cheese and the minced thyme, mix well. Place the cheese on a piece of plastic wrap and form into a tidy tube shape about 1 1/2 inches thick.
