How to Make Fresh Horseradish Hot Stuff

  1. Place 3 ice cubes in a food processor.
  2. Peel 1 cup (about 1 large) fresh horseradish root using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
  3. Cut the peeled horseradish into pieces roughly the size of the ice cubes and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Add the horseradish pieces to the food processor along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pulse until finely ground.
  5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of chilled water, if needed, to achieve desired consistency. (Note: Less water preserves more heat!)
  6. Let the mixture sit in the food processor for 3-4 minutes to allow the enzymes to release the heat.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and pulse to blend thoroughly. (If you prefer less heat, add the vinegar immediately after step 4.)
  8. Carefully transfer the prepared horseradish to a jar, keeping fumes away from your eyes and nose (it's powerful!).
  9. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks for best results.
  10. Add to dishes at the very end of cooking to preserve maximum heat and flavor.
