Sweet and Sour Beets Recipe (+)

Directions

Mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in a little of the vinegar or wine to make a smooth paste. Add remaining vinegar (or wine) and water. (Adding all liquid at once can produce lumps in the cornstarch.)
Cook over low heat, stirring and scraping sides and bottom of pan often; cook until liquid is clear, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beets, butter and orange zest, if using. Leave on the heat until beets are heated through. Serve warm.
