Boiled Beets Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Boiled Beets Recipe, first this root is excellent as a salad, and, as a garnish for other salads, it is very important on account of its beautiful bright color. In cleansing it before boiling, take care not to break the skin, or it will lose its color and become sickly-looking. Remove it from the saucepan carefully, peel and trim nicely. Serve, cut in slices, with melted butter in a tureen. Large beets take from two to three hours to boil.
