How to cook deliciously - Harvard Beets
1. Stage
If you're using raw beets, place them in a saucepan with water and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until tender. Drain and reserve some of the liquid. Skip this step but keep some of the canning juice if using canned beets. Editor’s Tip: It’s easier to peel beets first if you cook them first then let them cool.
2. Stage
In another saucepan, combine the sugar, all-purpose flour, vinegar and reserved beet juice. Simmer over a low heat until thickened, stirring continuously so that the sugars don’t burn. Stir in the sliced beets, salt and butter and simmer for 10 minutes more until each slice is coated in glossy sauce.
