Beet Relish Pickle

Okay so I need to give credit for this recipe to a lady I worked with years ago in healthcare. She introduced me to it and I couldn’t get enough of it- my oldest son’s favorite too.

She always said the best recipes are the ones you pass on -so here you go and please enjoy it and share as well.

With loads of love from Susan and I.
