10 med. beets
1/2 c. freshly grated horseradish
2 tsp. salt
2 c. mild vinegar
1/2 c. sugar

Cut off the stems 1 inch above the beets. Wash the beets, cook until tender, slip off the peels, grate beets on a coarse grater, and mix with horseradish. Combine the salt, vinegar, and sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil and strain over beet mixture. Mix and pack in jars. Store in a cool place.
