Karen'??s Corner: Pineapple Beets

by Karen D. Fyke

 At a recent family pot luck, Robin’s mother-in-law brought her family beet dish with pineapple in it. I’d never heard of it before, but it was really good. Last week I found the recipe in a 1983 Work Basket magazine. It had been submitted by Opal Smith. I wonder where Opal is now?

2 T cornstarch
1 C pineapple juice
1/2 C crushed pineapple
1/4 C cider vinegar
1/2 C sugar
1 T margarine
1 can (#303) beets, drained and cubed.

Stir cornstarch into 1/2 C pineapple juice to make a smooth paste. Add remining pineapple juice, sugar and vinegar. Stir well. Place in a double boiler and cook until thick and clear, about 8 minutes. Stir often to prevent lumping. Add margarine and crushed pineapple. Add beets. Heat thoroughly. Serve hot or cold.
