Beets - a thing our grandmothers served!!!

 Beets - have you ever cooked them?  They are sort of a food of the past.  I remember one of my grandmothers serving them often. Yet they are delicious and easy to fix.  Let me share with you how to do that now that they are available at the farmer's markets nearby. 

You take the beets and rinse them well.  The tops should be cut off as in the above picture.  Then put them in a pot of water and boil them until they are tender.  Pour off the water and let them cool.  The beets will stain your hands when you work with them, so I put on a pair of disposable gloves. With your gloves on, rub the beets to remove the skins which will come off easily. You are ready to then cut your beets in bite-size pieces. Put a little butter and vinegar on them and warm them and enjoy them. They are a healthy vegetable for you to enjoy!
