HARVARD BEETS FOR THE FREEZER (OR RIGHT AWAY)
The only way to eat beets! When I harvest my beets in the fall I always make up a few batches of this for the freezer-they're just as good reheated and it's a wonderful quick veggie for winter! To prepare fresh beets, I cover them with water, cook for 30 minutes to an hour till tender, then peel and cube. This recipe is a Swedish family tradition. The long cooking time includes the time the beets need to marinate.

HARVARD BEETS
I got this recipe from an old cookbook from 1952. I love harvard beets and this is my favorite beet recipe. It is fast and easy to make. In the winter time you can use a can of diced beets, if you don't have fresh available. Also sometimes I just cook the beets whole, then dice or slice them after "slipping" them in cold water. Slipping beets is a good childhood memory that me and my little sister used to share together.

Steps:
- Some like to peel before cooking, I prefer to cook before peeling.
- 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.
