Instructions
-
Prepare the Vinegar Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, salt, and sugar, stirring just until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Combine with Cold Water: Once the vinegar mixture has cooled, stir in the cold water to create a balanced liquid that will help in blending.
-
Process the Beets and Horseradish: In a food processor equipped with a metal blade, add the fresh horseradish and the raw beets.
-
Blend the Ingredients: Pour the prepared vinegar mixture over the beets and horseradish in the food processor. Pulse until you achieve a fine, well-blended mixture. If necessary, add more vinegar to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly chopped and combined.
-
Jar the Horseradish: Transfer the finished horseradish into clean glass jars, ensuring a tight seal with lids. Store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
-
Storage Note: Remember that the potency of the horseradish diminishes each time the jars are opened, so keep them tightly sealed when not in use to preserve that delightful heat.
Enjoy your homemade Horseradish Made with Beets as a vibrant accompaniment to your favorite dishes, and relish in the unique flavors it brings to your table!
