2. Steam each color beet separately until tender, about 20 minutes, either in a steamer or in one inch or so of water in a covered pot.
3. Remove beets and let cool.
4. Using an apple corer or other small device, remove a center piece from each beet. You can use any shape you choose.
5. Place the center piece of one color beet into the hole left in another color, until you have used all beet slices.
6. Refrigerate at least one hour and up to one day for colors to spread out and give a tie-dyed effect.
