Author Notes: Years ago we had a lovely polish neighbor, who loved sharing her Polish Foods with us. We came to love many of her recipes. This is one of our favorites. It was always on her Easter Table. The Chrzan works perfectly with ham or kielbasa. Even my grandchildren ask "is there any red horseradish" when I serve ham. - GiGi26
Makes 3 cups
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 2 cups Horseradish (homemade or good quality purchased)
- 1 pound Beets
- Wash and trim beets. Leave the skin on until they are cooked. Beets are much easier to peel after they are cooked.
- Put whole beets in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until beets are tender.
- Drain and cool. After the beets are cool peel and grate.
- In a large bowl mix together brown sugar, horseradish, vinegar and salt.
- Add beets and mix thoroughly.
- Pack in clean sterilized jars. Keep refrigerated up to 2 weeks

Chrzan, meaning horseradish, is pronounced Hsh-on, the syllabic way is H (hard H, think of the work HE )- SH (like the sound you make when telling someone to be quiet) - ON (almost like a mix between the words on and an, pretend to say the name Anne in a british accent). now put all of that together.

Beets and horseradish mix is called in Polish "ćwikła". Chrzan means horseradish. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Thank you for clarifying this for me. Now, if I could just pronounce it. I guess we will just continue calling it good!

Mmm, yum. The idea of a mound of these with some kielbasa is irresistible. Definitely on my "must-make" list. ;o)
