My mother used to make a horseradish and
beet combination as part of our Easter feast. This was one of the several items that went in our traditional Easter basket that the family took to church the night before. My daughter is trying to replicate the feast.

I think you will find what you are looking for with the spelling 'chrein.' I'm familiar with it as an essential part of the Passover seder -- ground horseradish preserved with vinegar, sometimes with beets (or fermented beet juice called rusell. Chrein is the Russian word for horseradish.
