Czwikla - Polish Beets image

One of my dad's signature dishes. He loves making czwikla and always has extra jars on hand to pass around to family and neighbors. Adjust the horseradish to your liking of "heat". The mount for this recipe results in a medium-sharp taste. My mother likes it mild, and I like it super-sharp; everyone will like it a little...
