Grandma’s Harvard Beets Recipe
Red beets are one of the healthier veggies that you can eat. On top of being healthy, they are easy to prepare and are gentle on your GI tract. I love to cook up some red beets and serve them as a vegetable side dish during dinner. When I make Harvard Beets this is the recipe that I like to use.

You can adjust the sugar content to how sweet you would like them to be. My daughter likes them very sweet but I like them less-sweet. You can easily double & triple this recipe for larger sized families.
