Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 pounds beets, peeled and sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Whisk 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a saucepan over medium heat. Add beets and butter and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
