This recipe was extracted from Original White House Cookbook (1887) by Hugo Ziemann, F. L. Gillette, Hugo Zimmerman, mrs gillette, page 133. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

BAKED BEETS. Beets retain their sugary, delicate flavor to perfection if they are baked instead of boiled. Turn them frequently while in the oven, using a knife, as the fork allows the juice to run out. When done remove the skin, and serve with butter, salt and pepper

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
