Harvard Beets goes really good with pork chops, and potato.

I am updating my recipe with this one. The color and glaze here is amazing.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I have tweaked this recipe from a previous posting using corn starch instead of flour and red wine vinegar. I like the results better.

I love harvard beets, but no one else in my family does. I use regular sugar and regular vinegar.

Can't wait to make this with my recently canned beets. I've never heard of Harvard Beets!
I loved eating beets raw on a salad. So delicious and sweet...yumm. Husband loved them too.
So I bought several and canned them. Oh, I was disappointed how 'unsweet they were'. No wonder I didn't like beets as a kid :)
Now I know what do with my canned beets.
I also, noticed when I canned up some lovely sweet mandarin mini's they were not sweet. Lesson learned. I just wish I new why canning takes away the natural sweetness of fruits and beets?
Thank you

Hint: Just a touch -- a tiny pinch -- of salt restores the sweetness. Salt cuts bitterness and allows the natural sweetness to shine through.
