This is wonderful cwikla! Made as directed, but used a combo of white balsamic and red wine vinegar, a touch more sugar, and both cloves and caraway. It was a hit at the Polish birthday party I attended this past Saturday and it will replace my former favorite. Can't wait to try when the fresh beets become available locally. I'm definitely going to make your Potato and Beet Salad, as well. Thanks so much for all of your wonderful Polish recipes!

In 26 years, we didn't know that both LL and DH love pickled beets! This is a fancier variety than we're used to thinking of, and it's delicious. Loved the touch of caraway! Snuck under the wire for ZWT4!

Delicious!! Just the way we like our pickled beets a little on the tart side. The onions are a real treat too!! We will be making these again, thanks for sharing a good one. — Mar 14, 2005 had to add to this, I forgot to say that I used real small baby beets and rather than cut them in half I poked each one with a toothpick, worked great, the taste got right into them and we love the tender tiny ones.

Made this with the fresh beet, clove and prepared horseradish options. Enjoyed the presentation immensely and would double (at least) the sugar next time. It was fairly sour for our tastes.
