About

Jarred horseradish pales alongside the aromatic bite of freshly grated horseradish. There are two options for sauces: a creamy, zesty version and a milder, red or yellow beet version. Look for horseradish root that is firm and without any greenish tinge under the skin.

Method

For Beet Horseradish

Drain the beets and let cool until they can be handled, then slip off the skins.
