How to Make Red Beet Horseradish Spread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and chop 1 large red beet into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Roast the beet pieces on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel and roughly chop the roasted beets.
  4. In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped beets, 1 cup prepared horseradish (jarred), ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Pulse until finely minced and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired (you might want more vinegar, sugar, or salt depending on your preference).
  5. Transfer the spread to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy with your holiday ham and other festive dishes!
  6. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
