First you will need some fresh beets. Cut off the tops(you can use those for other things) and the tails; then peel the beets.
Place the beets in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil.
Cover the beets with the aluminum foil so that it is all sealed.
Bake for 60 minutes and uncover to see the lovely cooked beets.
Let cool, then puree. You can use a food processor if you have one or a blender. You can even use a potato masher!
And voila you have instand food coloring. I have used it in some Valentine's treats.
