Joe’s Honey Harvard Beets
I have a love for red beets. I think I could eat them just about every day. I love them pickled, plain, with butter, Harvard style, Borsch, with salads just about any way you can think. It must be some of my Ukrainian heritage.
Mom rarely make cooked beets, though we always had picked red beet eggs so I had plenty of pickled beets, but you know kids, we just stayed from them.
This can be make with fresh or canned beets. Using canned beets cut down on a lot of time and makes this a quick and easy side dish you can throw together in 5 to 10 minutes.
Give it a try, you will fall in love with this great dish/
