Hawaiian Beets
"I happen to like beets, but many in my circle of friends don't, so I usually keep this recipe just for myself & a few guests who don't mind a taste-experiment! It comes from the 1967 'so good with FRUIT' cookbook from Better Homes and Gardens."

Great flavor, the sauce is very thick, so I might cut the cornstarch down a teaspoon almost similar to a jelly consistancy, will make again but with some adjustments, thanks for sharing Syd! -
Dear Syd, this was delicious as sidedish with plain rice to smoked trout! <br/>My son said he likes such red pineapples! My daughter said that it would be good as dessert cutting down the salt and served on sweet coconut rice.<br/>In any case this is really versatile recipe That is worth do try.<br/>Thanks a lot for posting this gem! -
Fantastic beets Sydney! We had along with our corned beef dinner and everyone loved them. DH and DD's want them again soon, so they will be made again!

I will be making this beet dish with fresh beets and fresh pineapple. Has anyone done this yet. I prefer fresh vegetables and fruits. -
I didn't know what to expect in flavor but there are no leftovers so I guess that answers the question. In the summer when we have a good variety of fresh beets available I would like to try this again. I reduced the cornstarch to one teaspoon and used undrained pineapple. It might help to indicate undrained pineapple for beginner cooks. No photo available with no leftovers. Served with Recipe #10986 and Recipe #380852 for an Asian-themed meal. However this dish would also work well for Thanksgiving. Reviewed for Veg Tag 19-2010. Thanks for posting!
