Beets Sautés.
Boil young sweet beets until nearly done—say forty-five minutes. Skin and slice them. Have ready in a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one tablespoonful of vinegar, a small onion minced, salt and pepper. When this begins to simmer, put in the beets, and cook ten minutes, shaking the saucepan frequently, to prevent scorching. Put the beets into a root-dish, and pour the dressing upon them.
