Boiled Beets

Instructions:

1. Place beets in pot with enough water to submerge beets (about 4 quarts)
2. Bring water and beets to a boil
3. Lower heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until easily pierced with a knife
4. Once completely cooked, remove from pot and set aside to cool
5. Once cooled, peel beets with paper towel as beets will stain hands

Note:

• Beet water may be reserved for making homemade vegetable stock
• To avoid beets bleeding during boiling process, add 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
