Janelle in Vegetables, beets, cooked beets with lemon, sweet sour sauce

 4-5 Beets

 1 T. Flour (wheat or barley work great.  Rice will also work well for those needing a gluten-free diet)

1/4 c. Water

1 T. Olive Oil

1 T. Honey or sweetener

1/2 c. Orange Juice

1 T. Lemon Juice

Pinch of Salt

 1)  Cook 4-5 beets until you are able to pierce them to the center with a sharp knife.  Allow them to cool and then remove the skins and slice them into rounds, sticks or 1/2 inch cubes, whichever you prefer.   If you want to save time use 2-4 c. of canned beets depending on how "saucy" you like your beets.

 2)  Dissolve the flour into the water and then place all ingredients into a sauce pan.  Cook while stirring continuously.  When flour thickens the mixture, add the cooked beets.   Can be eaten hot or cold.  If you let them chill in the refridgerator overnight it melds the flavors and makes it even more delicious.
