I liked this recipe but didnot love it as much as a similar recipe my Hungarian mother & friends made. I adapted this recipe to : 2 to 4 cans of slice or whole beets chopped finely; adapted the vinegar, sugar oil & salt & pepper to taste. Chilled over night.I have a better recipe which eliminatre severla of the ingredients in this particulr recipe, but has a better taste.

Very good. I made two batches: one as printed and one with horseradish as a previous reviewer suggested. Both were good, but my family--who are the supreme arbiters in my world--voted that they like the vinegar version best.

Add Horseradish for Kick.......... Use Pickled Beets & Forget the Vinegar & Sugar (?)
