Well no wonder you dislike them!  You have been making them wrong!  {if I
may be so bold}  In a saucepan mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1.5 teas. cornstarch 1/4
cup vinegar, and 1/4 cup water..bring to a boil, let simmer to thicken, then
add approx. 1 pound beets  {I use canned}  Bring to a boil again,allow the
beets to heat through, and add 2 Tabs butter and serve.
