Peel the red beets and cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Place the beets in a medium saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the beets are cooking, peel the horseradish root using a vegetable peeler and cut it into smaller chunks for easier grating.
Grate the horseradish root using a fine grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. Set it aside in a bowl.
Once the beets are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle. Using a paper towel or your fingers, rub the skins off the beets.
Grate the cooked beets using a fine grater or food processor and combine them with the grated horseradish in a bowl.
Add the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water to the beet and horseradish mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more vinegar for tanginess, sugar for sweetness, or salt for balance.
Transfer the prepared horseradish with beets into an airtight jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a condiment with your favorite dishes, and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
