Pineapple Beets

Ok, for those of you who like pineapple and or beets, here is a yummy recipe.
Needed for said recipe:

1 16oz can regular beets (I used sliced) , drained
1 8oz can pineapple tidbits or chunks , not drained
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 Tbsp corn starch (use more if needed to thicken)
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Ok, mix brown sugar, corn starch, and salt, pour into saucepan. Add 8 0z can pineapple with juice and bring to a boil. Then add drained beets, butter and lemon juice. Stir and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. The beets and pineapple should now be in a nice thick glaze, if it hasn't thickened add another 1/2 tbsp cornstarch. The original recipe called for 1 Tbsp of cornstarch but I knocked that down a bit because I felt it made the glaze a little starchy. But then what do I know. Anyway, there you have it! Enjoy!
Sorry, I don't have a photo, next time I will take one. : )
