Heimishe Chrein

• 4 medium beets
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish root
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
• 6 tablespoons water (reserved from the beets)

1. Peel and wash the beets very well. Cut them into large chunks, put them in a pot, cover them with water, and cook until they are soft, about 1 hour.
2. Drain the beets, reserving 2-3 t. beet water. Puree the beets and mix them together with the horseradish root.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and let it sit covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
4. For a sweeter taste, add more sugar; for a milder taste, add more beets; for a stronger taste, add more horseradish root. Add them each a little at a time as the smell can very quickly become overpowering. Refrigerate before serving.
