We love the taste of this beet relish with any type of meat or bean dish. You can adjust the pepper and horseradish to taste. —Norma Leatherwood, Sevierville, Tennessee

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds fresh beets
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons grated peeled horseradish
  • 2 teaspoons canning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Optional: Sliced baguette and grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. Scrub beets and trim tops to 1 in. Place in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 45-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from water; cool. Peel and shred beets.
  2. In a Dutch oven, combine sugar and vinegar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in shredded beets, horseradish, salt, cayenne and pepper; bring to a boil.
  3. Ladle hot mixture into hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot relish. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.
