I know there are a lot of Harvard Beet recipes floating around. This is my version. Kinda sweet and sour at the same time. I take these to family reunions and make for some of my friends. I use canned beets.

How to Make Harvard Beets
- Melt margarine and add cornstarch to make a roux.
- Drain beet juice into roux and stir until thick. You may need to add a little water. If you want to add onions now is the time.
- Add sugar, then add vinegar to taste. It only takes a small amount.
- Put beets in glaze and simmer for about 20 minutes or until beets are heated through.
- Stir occasionally as they tend to stick.
