Simple Summer Beets

I love beets! And this year I decided to grow my own. They were beautiful and delicious – dare I say the best I’ve ever had!
I fix them the way my mom always does:
Boil the beets until a knife goes in easily (approximately 20 minutes, depending on the size of the beets). Drain and set aside to cool completely. Peel the skin from the beets. Slice and place in a bowl (add sliced onion if you wish). Drizzle with vinegar (any kind will do), sprinkle with a touch of sugar, salt and pepper, and toss. Let sit for 10 minutes to marinate and enjoy!
