This recipe was wonderful! I'm the only one in my family who eats beets and I usually just eat them out of the can! I cut the recipe down to one serving, which was perfect for one can of beets. This is very easy to put together and the flavors blend beautifully. Thanks Kitten, for a great recipe that made me feel like I was spoiling myself, for a change.

Thanks Kitten! Your recipes are always great! <br/>I have not been able to find Harvard beets in any of the local chain grocery stores for awhile now. But, had a craving for them today, so of course, checked out Food.com.<br/><br/>I was delighted on the taste and how simple your recipe is to make Harvard beets are to make! I made a big batch (on faith) and will have the extras tomorrow.
