Directions
The early turnip beet is best in summer : wash them, but do not cut the tops too close, as they are much sweeter with some of the tops boiled on them. They will boil in three quarters of an hour ; when done, take them up, put them in cold water for a moment, so that the skin will easily peel off. Slice them, and season with pepper, salt and butter. Old, or winter beets, will take much longer. They will take from two to three hours to boil. It is better to put them to soak over night, if they are very so- lid: cut them in slices, and pour vinegar over them.
TO COOK OXIONS. The small white onions are preferred. Peel them, and put them down in a little water and salt ; when nearly done, pour off the water, and add milk and a little flour mixed with butter.
