Father's Day Harvest

I harvested our next-to-last serving of beets out of our garden, and I have to say, they were delicious. My cousin swears her favorite way to eat beets is "Harvard Beets," so I gave this recipe a try last night. Meghan says they're "candied beets," Michael will eat one or two bites, Matthew says, "bleh" with the obligatory stuck-out tongue, and Craig and I both agree, they are "top of the class," hence the name, "Harvard Beets."

Here's the recipe....

16 oz. can of beets (or use fresh beets, peel them, boil them and reserve the liquid)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
butter
salt to taste

Add vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, butter and salt to beet liquid, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, stir in beets, and heat through.
