1 lb. (2 c.) beets, cooked and diced or sliced
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. vinegar
2 tbsp. butter

Blend sugar and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Stir in water and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes until thick. Stir in butter and beets; heat through. Can use the liquid from canned beets instead of water (thickening will be red). Can go easy on sugar. Serves 3 to 4.
