Stewed Beets
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Bake the beets at 400°F (200°C) until tender.
Once cooled, scrape off the skin and slice the beets.
Place the sliced beets in a saucepan and cover with gravy.
Stew gently for 30 minutes.
Thicken the sauce with cream.
For a brighter color, pound some slices in a mortar and extract the juice.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
