Ingredients

  • 6 cups cooked, sliced beets (or 3 cans)
  • 24 whole cloves
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 3 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp. cooking oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Dash of salt

Directions

  1. Drain beets and reserve 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Place beets and liquid in a saucepan along with all other ingredients. Stir well and cook using a medium heat for about 3 minutes, or until liquid thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid in the refrigerator, or seal in pint jars to store longer.
  2. Variation: Reduce number of cloves to taste. Substitute artificial sweetener for half of sugar.
