How to Make Polish Horseradish Chrzan

  1. Wash and peel the horseradish root. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the strong fumes!
  2. Roughly chop the horseradish root and place it in a food processor.
  3. Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Process until you reach your desired consistency, scraping down the sides as needed. Start with short pulses to avoid splattering.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. You might want more sugar or vinegar depending on your preference.
  5. Pack the chrzan into a clean, sterilized pint jar, leaving about half an inch of headspace.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
