PREPARED HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
• Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

HOMEMADE PREPARED HOT HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Place diced horseradish in a food processor; add a splash of cold water. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to blend. Scrape down sides of food processor container (the fumes are very strong, so keep your face away from the bowl and the room well ventilated).
• Continue blending, adding a bit more water if mixture seems too dry. Process until horseradish is finely ground. Wait 2 minutes before adding the vinegar and salt; supposedly this makes the horseradish hotter. After 2 or 3 minutes, add vinegar and salt. Continue processing until mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired consistency, adding more water if necessary. Transfer to airtight storage containers. Refrigerate.
