Squeeze any excess moisture from 1 lb finely grated cooked beets (vacuum-packed or canned, drained) using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.

Transfer to a jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors meld. Keeps refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Questions

Can I make Beet Horseradish Relish ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Sugar and vinegar are preservatives: in a clean sealed jar it keeps two to three weeks refrigerated.

Can I halve or double Beet Horseradish Relish?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
