Notes
- How to boil beets
- Trim off the tops of the beets, leaving about a 2 inch stem. Add beets to a large stockpot or Dutch oven and fill with water so beets are covered. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes (depending on size of beets) or until fork tender. Carefully remove beets and place in a large both filled with ice water. Peel beets using a pair of disposable gloves to rub the skin right off, or you can use paper towels. Be sure to slice off the root end before dicing beets.
- *I like to boil the yellow and red beets separately so the colors don’t bleed.
