Mix ¼ c juice and flour together.

Mix sugar, vinegar, salt, and rest of beet juice. Add flour mixture and whisk while bringing to a boil. Add more water if needed. Add beets and heat until beets are warm and sauce is thick. Add butter.

These are wonderful with pork chops! My sister and I asked Mama to make this often, and she obliged, pan-sautéeing the meat. One dips a bite of pork into the beet sauce! Yum!
