Baked Beet-Roots

After washing thoroughly place in a rather slow oven and when done serve hot with butter, pepper and salt. If baked whole they will probably require about eight hours to cook well.

The Preparation of Beet-Roots for Table Choose the small, smooth varieties; wash and clean them without cutting or scraping and boil for one to two hours, dependent upon their size. Allow them to cool and then peel, cut into slices and serve in a glass dish; or they may be mixed in a salad.
