Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

The beet aster is very easy
-to make and adds another
-variety of
Vegetable flower for

1. To make the beet aster, selected a well-rounded, medium sized beet
and cut off the top and root end of the vegetable to creat a flat
surface.

2. Peel the beet completely.

3. With the knife, make a series of parallel cuts. Start these cuts
from the stem end and slice all the way to, but not through, the root
end of the vegetable. Stop the cut about 1/4 inch from the root end.
Cut the slices as close together as possible.

4. When you have completed this series of cuts, give the beet a
quarter turn and cut a second set of parallel cuts across the first
cuts forming right angles.

** NOTE ** To make a mixed bouquet of asters, use white turnips and
follow the same instructions for making the beet asters. The turnip
asters can be colored by placing a few drops of vegetable food
coloring in the ice water to tint the flowers in a variety of colors.
