Boiled Beets

Wash and scrub, but do not cut the beets. Cover with boiling water and allow to boil fifteen minutes. Place in cooker for two hours or more, depending upon the age of the beets. Remove from cooker; put beets in cold water for a minute; slip off the skins, and cut the beets in small pieces. Season with salt, pepper and butter, or any sauce you may prefer. To retain the color of the beets leave on the root and about one half inch of leaves.
