In Amish country, pickled beets are a staple go-along for family meals. Our easy version tastes just like theirs but we use the convenience of canned beets that we simmer in an easy homemade sauce -- and get the same result!
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced beets, drained
- 1 tablespoon diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
What to Do
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, vinegar, and water; stir until smooth.
- Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened. Add beets and onion to mixture and simmer on low 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Add butter, stir until melted, and serve.
