Harvard Beets

from Maritime Flavours Guidebook & Cookbook

While freshly cooked beets are preferred, this recipe transforms canned beets into a colorful and flavourful dish suitable for guests at the Marshlands Inn of Sackville New Brunswick.

Ingredients

2 cups sliced cooked beets (19-ounce can)

¼ cup cooking liquid

¼ cup vinegar

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

½ cup sugar

Directions

Combine cooking liquid, vinegar, cornstarch, oil and sugar in a pot. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Add beets to sauce and return to serving temperature.

Serves 4

Nada’s Tips & Tricks: For the cooking liquid, use the beet liquid from the can or a chicken/vegetable stock for extra flavour.
