5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

This spicy relish, traditionally made out of beets and horseradish, is so much better homemade.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 10 oz raw horseradish
  • 2½ Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup warm boiled water

For the red horseradish:

  • 5 oz raw beets

Instructions

  1. For white chrain: Peel the horseradish and grind it finely in the food processor.
  2. Mix it together with all the other ingredients and refrigerate in a tightly closed jar. It will be ready to eat after a few hours.
  3. For red chrain: Peel the beets and horseradish and let them both sit in cold water for about an hour.
  4. Drain and grind them finely.
  5. Mix together with all the other ingredients and refrigerate in a tightly closed jar — it will be ready in a few hours.

Notes

While these two recipes extend many centuries back, some modern variations also call for mayonnaise — try adding 1-2 Tbsp to taste.
