1. Drop the beets into a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook, uncovered, until tender when pierced. Drain in a colander set under cold running water. When cool enough to handle, peel the beets and cut them into small chunks. Place the chunks in a blender or processor and whirl until smooth.2. Melt the butter in a wide saucepan.
