Add 1-2 cans of sliced beets to a pot on the stove.

Cook the mixture until it comes to a boil, ensuring the sugar dissolves.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved with no chunks.

Once the beet mixture is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch mixture a little at a time while stirring.

Monitor the thickness of the mixture, adjusting the heat if it boils too hard.

Continue adding the cornstarch mixture until the desired thickness is achieved, then turn the heat down low and let it simmer until ready to serve.
