All three recipes are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. So, whether you're looking for a traditional horseradish sauce, a spicy horseradish sauce, or a horseradish sauce with a bit of citrusy tang, these recipes have you covered.

Time 30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound horseradish root - peeled, ends trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
¾ cup water, or as needed - divided
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place diced horseradish in a food processor; add a splash of cold water. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to blend. Scrape down sides of food processor container (the fumes are very strong, so keep your face away from the bowl and the room well ventilated).
  • Continue blending, adding a bit more water if mixture seems too dry. Process until horseradish is finely ground. Wait 2 minutes before adding the vinegar and salt; supposedly this makes the horseradish hotter. After 2 or 3 minutes, add vinegar and salt. Continue processing until mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired consistency, adding more water if necessary. Transfer to airtight storage containers. Refrigerate.

PREPARED HORSERADISH

Homemade prepared horseradish tastes fresher than store-bought varieties and is a surprisingly versatile condiment that will keep, refrigerated, for about three months. Start with fresh horseradish, which should be chilled to preserve its punch, and a box grater, a hand grinder or a food processor. Horseradish is potent, so make sure to keep the windows open or wear glasses to protect yourself from the fumes when handling the raw ingredient. Whisked into vinaigrettes, drizzled over poached fish or stirred into mayonnaise for a brighter egg salad sandwich, a spoonful of prepared horseradish wakes up whatever you're cooking.

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh horseradish root
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup cold water, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
  • Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

  • Wear gloves when handling horseradish, as it can irritate your skin.
