Freezing Beets

Cook beets 1 1/2 hours or until tender, then put beets in cold water and then peel. The skins will slide right off, run the beet under cold water for a few seconds after the skin is off.

Slice or dice and put in containers or freezer bags. (I like to use Ziplock freezer bags with a double layer-helps prevent freezer burn). Put in freezer.

When you want to have some beets for a meal, take out what you will need and put in kettle add water just to cover. Put a cover on while cooking, they will heat faster. Then drain off the water and add butter and salt and pepper. (I like to just add butter and not the spices)

Enjoy
