The classic version of cooking such a product assumes that the beets will spend almost two hours in the pan.
To do this, pour cold water over the vegetable and put it on the fire. No need to add salt.
The fruit must be cooked over medium heat.
As soon as the water boils, the heat should be set to minimum, and it is better to cover the pan with a lid.
