BEETS BOILED

their sweetness. If the beets are young and tender, they are nice cooked whole,
and then stewed in a little butter, with sugar, salt and vinegar added. Let them
simmer in this batter for twenty minutes, and serve.
If the beets are large, boil, and slice them when cooked, and season with
vinegar, pepper and salt, or slice them, and serve with butter.
PARSNIP FRITTERS
Boil the parsnips in salted water until they are done; make a batter of an egg,
a spoonful of milk and flour, pepper and salt, and when the parsnips are cool
enough to handle cut them in rounds, dip them in the batter and drop them into
hot lard; fry a light brown, turn them and fry the other side. When brown on
both sides, drain them from the grease. They are good, mashed like turnips.
