Horseradish is a seasoning that grows in the ground in the form of horseradish root. Simply called horseradish, this savory blend goes great with crackers, sandwiches, meats, cheese and almost any food you want to spice up. The pungency of horseradish depends on how it is prepared. Therefore, if you are a connoisseur of this sauce, but prefer a certain degree of spiciness, you can learn how to make horseradish for yourself to suit your taste. There are a few ingredients and simple steps, but it will take months to cook the horseradish.

Steps

1. 1 Get some horseradish roots from your garden, buy at your local grocery store or market.
   • Better if they are approximately 20.32 -25.4 cm in length.
2. 2 Wash the horseradish root thoroughly under warm water and remove the tops with a knife.
3. 3 Remove the outer layer of the horseradish root with a vegetable peeler.
4. 4 Cut the horseradish root into small pieces with a large knife.
   • If you prefer, you can use a blender. If you choose this method of grinding your horseradish, be sure to add a small amount of cold water and cut the horseradish root into several pieces before chopping.
5. 5 Depending on how soft or tangy you want the horseradish to be, choose when to add the vinegar.
6. 6 Add vinegar.
   • The exact amount does not matter, as it is only used to control the heat generating properties of horseradish root.
7. 7 Stir in chopped horseradish and vinegar.
8. 8 Drain the cooked horseradish, add salt if desired.
9. 9 Place horseradish in an airtight container and store in your refrigerator.

Tips

• Horseradish root contains oils that are produced when it is rubbed. This is what gives horseradish its pungency and is neutralized when we add vinegar to it. The pungency level can be adjusted to taste depending on how much vinegar you add.The longer you wait, the hotter the sauce will be.
• Diversify your recipe by adding cream and bringing it to a creamy consistency.
• For a quick and delicious cocktail sauce, simply add chili sauce to it.
• Use horseradish root for the best flavor. If the sauce turns green, place it in the refrigerator at least two weeks before you cook the horseradish.
• Store horseradish in a tightly closed container for up to 6 weeks. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 8 months.
• Experiment with a new seasoning. Horseradish sauce goes well with many dishes.

Warnings

• Do not touch your face and eyes when grinding horseradish, as it can cause a burning sensation.
• When cooking horseradish, remember to ventilate your kitchen by opening a window. The smell when the root is crushed can be very strong.
