Boiled Beets (8 Servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of beets
  • Water
  • 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Beet tops should be scrubbed, washed, and trimmed. It is unnecessary to peel the beets. When the beets are cooked, the peel should come off easily.
  2. Put the beets in a pot that can comfortably hold them. 2 inches of water should cover the beets.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and continue to cook for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the beets.
  4. Remove the beets from the heat and chill them under cold running water until they are safe to handle.
  5. Rub a paper towel all over the surface of the beets to peel them. The skin of the beets should fall off quickly.
