The BEST Harvard Beets
If you like your beets a little bit sugar-sweet and a little bit vinegar-sour, flavored with a hint of cloves and smoothed with a little butter, then this recipe for classic Harvard Beets is for you! VIDEO RECIPE at the end of this post. Enjoy.
How to Make Harvard Beets - Side Dish Recipe
2 - 15 oz cans sliced beets (one can with juice and
other drained)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown vinegar
2 tbsp butter
In a saucepan on low medium, add sugar, salt, cornstarch, water and cider vinegar.
You can use white vinegar but I prefer the cider vinegar.
Stir and cook over medium heat stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes. The mixture will thicken quickly. Remove from heat.
Add beets and juice and stir until combined. Let set covered for 30 minutes (or longer)..
When ready put on medium heat, add butter and bring up to heat. Stir frequently and you will see the butter melt and
the sauce will thicken.
Cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and thickened.
Enjoy.
