     If we are talking Red Beets,  best is Buttered beets,  followed by Harvard beets.  Take fresh whole Beets and put in SS pot, cover with water and cook them  until they are just tender when checked with a fork.  Rinse in  in cold water and rub off the outer skin.  Then slice Beets, place in pot and add butter.   For Harvard beets,  place sliced, or diced beets in small amount of water,   not enough to cover the beets.  Heat,  then add  equal parts of sugar and vinegar.  Add black pepper,  to taste.  Heat to boiling then take 1/4 cup of COLD water and add   cornstarch,  mix with fork til well blended and no lumps etc.  Slowly add to beets and  removed from heat to prevent scorching of bottom of pan.   Serve.  add less vinegar for what the Bostonians call Yale Beets.

For Beet Greens,  cook like Turnip Greens.

Fry three pieces of Bacon until crisp, remove from skillet.  add greens to hot bacon drippings. stir to coat and "simmer" for  about 3 minutes.  crumble bacon add to pan and sprinkle with a good Malt Vinegar
