Easter Horseradish image

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb horseradish root
1 can(s) beets, whole
1/4 c white vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Peel root with potato peeler, GO OUTSIDE AND HAND GRATE root. DO NOT DO IN HOUSE or WITH FOOD PROCESSOR. You may do it once, but if you do you will know why I say OUTSIDE
  • 2. Grate entire can of beets into root. Once the liquid from beets hits the grated root is when it really starts releasing its pungency.
  • 3. add vinegar, sugar, salt, then just get on there and mix with your fingers. It is the only way to get it all completely mixed well.
  • 4. taste and adjust vinegar and salt to your taste. Refrigerate overnight and taste again for any tweaks to the seasonings. Will keep in fridge for about 30 days.
