Peel the horseradish root using a vegetable peeler and cut it into small chunks for easier processing.
Place the horseradish chunks into a food processor and pulse until finely grated. Be cautious of the strong fumes released during this process.
Add white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt to the food processor with the grated horseradish.
Pulse the ingredients until well combined and the horseradish reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, process for a few extra seconds.
Carefully transfer the horseradish mixture into a clean, airtight jar or container.
Refrigerate the horseradish for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and mellow slightly. The sauce will keep for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
