ID: 645 Vegetable

Ingredients:

3 (15-16 oz.) cans tiny whole beets
1 cup sugar
2 level tbs. cornstarch
1 cup vinegar
24 whole cloves
3 tbs. catsup
3 tbs. cooking oil
dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions:
Drain beets but SAVE the juice. Using a large shallow pan, mix sugar and cornstarch stirring well. Add vinegar, cloves, catsup, oil, salt and vanilla. Stir well. Add 1 1/2 cups beet juice. Cut beets in quarters (or bite size pieces) and mix with other ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes stirring all the time until mixture thickens.
