Baked Beets.
Large beets may be put into an oven and baked the same as potatoes are baked. When done you will have to peel with a knife, serve same as boiled beets, but they are much sweeter because they have not lost their sugar in boiling. It is easier, too.— Mrs. W. W. Williams, 1411 Rod- ney avenue, city.
Old beets are nice cooked till ten- der, peeled and served in the fol- lowing ways:
Chop and add pepper, salt, butter and a little vinegar and serve hot.
Slice and put in individual dishes: add pepper, salt and dot with butter and serve hot.
Slice and fry a golden brown in butter; add pepper and salt and serve. ■ — Mrs. Welch, 1351 East Lincoln street, city.
