Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

5 small beets -- to 7

- without tops

1 carrot -- grated

- or chopped small

1 onion -- thinly sliced

5 cups water -- to 6

1 tablespoon honey -- to 3

1 tablespoon vinegar -- to 5

- rice vinegar or red wine

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper

 

Wash beets and cover with water and cook till soft. (Leave ends on

beets while cooking). When beets are soft, remove from water and set

aside. Add other ingredients (carrot and onoin) and continue to

simmer. Spear beet with knife or fork and run under cold water; the

skin should slip right off. Cut he ends off now, discard, and cut the

beets into matchstick size. Add back to soup pot. It's about time to

remove from heat. Stir in hone and vinegar I like a little more

vinegar; do this to you own taste. Cover and put in fridge. When

ready to serve, add 1/2 of a hot potato or a huge dollop of sour

cream.
