Pickled Beets

I have not idea where this recipe originated and given the number of corrections on the card I doubt it was originally my grandmothers, she was just too careful about her recipes. I love beets but this really has too much sugar for my tastes.

Pickled Beets

1 cup red vinegar (cider or white)
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons white karo
1/4 teaspoons salt
Cloves
-penciled in: 3 cans Beets

Mix all ingredients together, and boil (slowly) for at least 30 minutes or longer. Pour over (drained) diced beets while steel [sic. still] hot.

Crimson Beet Salad

I love beets but this just does not sound very good, probably the mayonnaise and sour cream mixed with beets.

Crimson Beet Salad

2 cups cooked beets, grated
1/2 cup finely sliced leeks or green onions
1 cup shredded cabbage

Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon dehydrated horseradish
1/4 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon salt
Ground pepper

Mix together salad dressing ingredients. (Flavor improves if made a day ahead). Fold dressing into vegetable combination gently. Garnish salad plate or bowl with lettuce leaves. Makes 5-6 servings.
