Actually my mother used this recipe (except for the vodka--my contribution). Pennsylvania women have used it for years (except for the vodka).

    Great recipe, gives it a sweet and sour taste. I used raw beets, sliced and boiled.

    quick. easy. and addictive! Made this recipe for dinner with my parents-in-law. I couldn't stop tasting the glaze - delicious. Didn't have the vodka, so I tried with a half ounce of Brandy - great flavor!
