Pennsylvania Dutch Beets

1 can small whole beets
1 can (6 ozs) fresh orange juice, thawed
1 can water (use orange juice can to measure)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar,  packed tight
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter

Make paste of cornstarch and one-half can of the water.  Mix the thawed orange juice, the rest of the water, vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add the cornstarch mixture, stirring gently to keep smooth.  Cook until clean and thickened,  about 6 to 7 minutes.  Add the butter, then the beets and heat until the beets are thouroughly hot.  Serve at once.  This makes a delicious and attractive side dish for any meal.
