Ingredients

16 oz beets, diced or sliced

¼ cup sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

½ tsp salt

⅛ tsp pepper

¼ cup wine vinegar

Drain beets, reserving liquid.

In 1-cup glass measure, pour beet liquid and add enough water to make 1 cup of liquid.

In a 1 quart micro proof casserole or bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, pepper and vinegar.

Stir in beet liquid.

Cook uncovered on high, 2 ½ to 3 minutes stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and is clear.

Add beets and stir lightly.

Cook, covered, on high about 5 minutes, or until beets are hot.
