Harvard Beets
This sweet and sour beet dish is great with fresh beets steamed on the stovetop, but cooking beets in the RV can be a pain so more often I use either a can of sliced beets or the refrigerated vacuum packed beets from Costco. The Costco beets can either be sliced or cubed and they taste just like freshly steamed beets.
Ingredients
1 can beets
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup mild vinegar, like apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 Tablespoons butterDirections
In a small pan mix the sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and water before putting on the heat. Bring to a boil and cook stirring regularly for five minutes or until thickened. Add beets, remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes or longer. Just before serving heat until desired temperature is reached. Add butter and stir.

Note
You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.
We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
