Sweet Horseradish Pickles

My great-grandma Rachel enjoyed making these at Christmas. It was her favorite time to be surrounded by children. Her daughter-in-law, my grandma liked to save the juice as a salad dressing. She in turn passed the recipe down to her daughter-in-law my mother. My mom makes this for my dad as special gifts. She does her best to keep it a surprise in the fridge from his nosy eyes. Mom always decorates the jar differently and creatively each time.
