Red Hazeret -- Horseradish-Beet Relish

Submitted by Molly53

"Horseradish relish is traditionally served at Passover with matzoh, but it can be used at any time of the year as with any relish, on burgers or hot dogs, but it is really best with beef. Try mixing it into mayonnaise [pink!] and have it on roast beef sandwiches. Or just grab a spoon – it is great all by itself.. This recipe makes something like three cups of relish. Cooking time is also approximate and refrigeration time is not included in preparation time. Recipe courtesy of Food Wanderings."
