Thanks to Mrs. Cohen’s recipe here, many adults and kids
alike have been transformed into lovers of beets, while I’m still a skeptic. Fun
fact: Their deep red hue is said to match Harvard football jerseys. Whether
true or not, it makes for a tasty tradition!

Ingredients
4 c beets, (cooked, cooled, and cubed)
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c cider vinegar, or white vinegar
1/3 c orange juice
2 tbsp butter
as desired salt & pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch, (heaping tbsp)
2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
Roast the beets in tin foil after washing and trimming up
the beets. Roast them for approximately 1 hour on a baking sheet and then cool
completely.
Remove the skins of the beets and then cube them into
bite-size pieces.
In a saucepan, add sugar, vinegar, orange juice, salt, and
pepper. Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to a simmer.
Add the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Add
the slurry to the sauce to thicken, stirring constantly.
Once the sauce thickens, add the beets and continue to mix
for about 5 minutes so the beets can heat through.
Once heated through, add the butter and mix in.
Serve and enjoy!
