Scandinavian Beet Salad

Ingredients

2 beets
1 ts caraway seeds
6 tb boiling water
1 1/2 tb vinegar
2 ts sugar
1 ts salt

Instructions

The beets need to be prepared 8 hours before serving so that they have time to absorb the flavours of the dressing. Use freshly boiled beets & slice them thinly into a bowl. Crush the caraway seeds & pour the water over the top. Leave them to sit until the water has become cold. Strain. Mix the strained liquid with the vinegar, sugar & salt. Pour over the sliced beets. Leave to stand for 8 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with caraway seeds if desired.
