Red Beets

6 servings

Ingredients

• red beets (as needed)
• horseradish, diced (a little)
• caraway seeds (a little)
• cloves (a little)
• vinegar, boiled with salt (as needed)

Instructions

1. Wash the red beets clean without trimming them, so they don't lose any juice, and boil them in water until soft.
2. Let them cool slightly, peel off the skin, let them cool completely, and slice them.
3. Place them in a stoneware pot, scattering diced horseradish, caraway seeds, and cloves between the layers, and pour enough vinegar, boiled with a little salt and then cooled, over them to cover.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
