Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (grated) fresh horseradish root
- 0.25 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
1. Begin by peeling the outer skin of the horseradish root using a vegetable peeler. Rinse under cold water to remove any dirt.
2. Using a box grater or food processor, finely grate the horseradish root until you have 1 cup. Be cautious as freshly grated horseradish is very pungent—consider working in a well-ventilated area.
3. Transfer the grated horseradish to a medium-sized bowl.
4. In a small glass or bowl, mix the white vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and cold water until the sugar and salt dissolve.
5. Pour the vinegar mixture over the grated horseradish and stir well to combine.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more vinegar for tanginess or a pinch of sugar to mellow the heat.
7. Transfer the mixture to an airtight glass jar or container. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and serve as a condiment on meats, sandwiches, or roasted vegetables.
