Sugared Beets

Ingredients

• 1 pound Beets (About 4 medium beets)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 4 cups Water (For boiling)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the beets thoroughly. Trim the tops and roots, leaving about 1 inch of stem to prevent the color from bleeding out during cooking.
2. 2Place the beets in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the beets are tender. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
3. 3Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them. The skins should slip off easily. Slice the beets into rounds or cubes.
4. 4In a bowl, toss the sliced beets with the sugar until evenly coated. Serve warm or cold.
