- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the horseradish root thoroughly using a vegetable peeler, ensuring all the outer skin is removed.
Step 2
Cut the horseradish root into smaller chunks to make it easier to process.
Step 3
Using a food processor or a fine grater, grate the horseradish until it forms a fine, moist texture. Note: Grating horseradish can be very pungent, so ensure proper ventilation or wear protective eyewear to avoid irritation.
Step 4
Transfer the grated horseradish into a bowl.
Step 5
Add the white vinegar, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and cold water to the bowl with the horseradish. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more vinegar, salt, or sugar to suit your preference.

Transfer the prepared horseradish into a clean, airtight jar or container.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The flavor will mellow slightly over time.
