Tags: Beet relish , old recipes

I was given all my grandmother's recipes when she passed because I'm the only one in the family who's into cooking. In those recipes, I found a little notebook with all the family recipes that she had written down when she first got married. There's also a gift list in the back of all her wedding gifts. It's so cool, I wanted to share some of the recipes with others. I'll just do one for today.

Beet Relish

1qt. Ground Beets

1qt ground cabbage

1 cup horse radish

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp pepper

Enough cold vinegar to cover the mixture. This is good to eat with meat.

trochelwoman	Apr 12, 2008 \| 2:26 PM PST Your so lucky to have those recipe's! I love to collect old recipes & cookbooks. The older the better. I love to actually cook what my family eats. I never did believe in all that box, and instant stuff. I'll keep watch for new recipes in your blogs. If you like cooking websites a good one is www.allrecipes.com or www.cooks.com Both are excellent sites. Happy Cooking! Jules Last edited by trochelwoman on April 12th at 2:28 PM.
ILUVWEEDS	Apr 12, 2008 \| 2:52 PM PST I also inherited the family cookbooks and recipes. Our family loves it when they know they are eating Nana's Apple Crisp! (hers is made with oleo rather than butter!!) My grandmother collected the families recipes and had a lot of them translated so they could be passed down (mostly Italian and old english) I still have some of the real old books but they are very hard to read in old english, its like a Shakespare novel untranslated! Good thing I know my way around the kitchen as most of the older recipes can be deciphered by knowing what ingredients are normally found in the basic recipe. You have inspired me to share these recipes also--Thanks a lot and happy cooking/eating! Jo
