Boiled Beets

Ingredients

• salt
• pepper

Directions

1. Wash, but do not touch with a knife before they are boiled. If cut while raw, they bleed themselves pale in the hot water. Boil until tender—if full-grown at least two hours. When done, rub off the skins, slice round 1f large, split if young, and butter well in the dish. Salt and pepper to taste. A nice way is to slice them upon a hot dish, mix a great spoonful of melted butter with four or five of vinegar, peppet and salt, heat to boiling, and pour over the beets.
