This is a recipe my mother served to family and friends–it has a very nice blend of sweet and sour flavors. I often take this dish to picnics and church dinners as it can be served warm or cold...delicious either way.—Claire Moser, Middletown, Maryland

This was a perfect side dish for pork and garlic mashed potatoes. I added a little more sugar than the recipe called for because the vinegar taste was a little overpowering. Great over all.
