Harvard Beets

Unread post by Farmfresh »

This is an old recipe from Grandma Nettie's cookbook from the 40's and something you never see or hear of anymore. I thought I would post it so you all can give it a try. Beets are very good for you and easy to grow, so we need more ways to prepare them I think.

Harvard Beets

* 2 cups canned or pre-cooked beets, cubed or sliced
* 2 T butter
* 1 T cornstarch
* 1 T sugar
* 1/2 cup mild vinegar (balsamic works nice as does rice wine)
* 1/4 t salt
-----

Melt the butter and stir in cornstarch to make a roux. Add sugar, salt and blend well. Add vinegar and cook a bit until thick. Stir in beets and heat through.

Makes 4 - 6 servings.
And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit. -The Tick ~~ Bible verse Revelation 6:15-17 - look it up!

I haven't thought of Harvard Beets in decades! Mother used to make them and they were delish!
