Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
A lady I know Mrs. Willard told me to cook the beets by roasting them in large roast pan in the oven. She says they cook the same but there is no mess like when the boil over on top of the stove like they always do. I have not tried to cook them this way yet but I'm going to try it next summer 2017.
