I would like to know if you can use this recipe for canning? I have looked all over the internet and there is nothing for canning Harvard beets with cornstarch in it.

Thank you.

You did not provide a recipe. I found one that does use cornstarch: www.google.com/.../easy-as-1-2-3-harvard-beets-372772

Like the other link, most recipes for Harvard Beets does include cornstarch but that is the recipe for making serving beets and not canning beets.

Most recipes for canning fresh beets do not include cornstarch as that is generally added when preparing to serve. But I did find one canning recipe that includes cornstarch - I've never used this recipe but I hope it is what you are looking for.

I don't. If you already have the pickled beets and want to use them up I would do this. Melt a little butter (two tablespoons) and mix it with a little flour (one tablespoon) in a saucepan.

Add the juice of the canned beets and then sweeten with a tablespoon of sugar. If you don't have a half cup of juice add a little water. Cook until the juice forms a glaze. It won't take long. If you are going to buy the beets. Get plain canned beets and make the recipe just like above only add two tablespoons cider vinegar. Delicious.

Cook all ingredients except for beets until sauce is clear. Add beets. Keep beets and sauce in warm place for 30 minutes.
