• Cut off all but 1/2 inch of the beet top (green top), wash beet and place in a pot and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer beets until they are just tender but not mushy. This could take 30 to 40 minutes or longer depending on the size of the beets.
• Remove the beets from the pan and let them cool until you are able to handle them. If you haven't peel the beets, used a paring knife and scrape the skin. It will come right off.
• Cut off the root end and the remaining top.
• Either slice the beets or cut into cubes. I prefer slices.
• In a sauce pan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Add the water and vinegar and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring to a boil. I cook until this is thickened.
• Here is where some will differ. I put my sliced beets in a secure container and then pour the mixture over them. With a secure lid, you can shake the container and ensure all the beets are coated. I prefer to let them cool and the refrigerate before eating. Some like them warm.
