FRESH BEET HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Scrub beets; trim stems to 1/2 inch. Place beets in a medium saucepan; add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high; cook at a gentle boil until beets are tender when pierced with a small, sharp knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set beets aside until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, grate horseradish on small holes of a box grater. Place in a small bowl; stir in vinegar, salt, and sugar.
• Peel beets; grate on small holes of box grater. Add to horseradish mixture; stir well to combine. Keep covered to preserve flavor, and refrigerate until needed.

CHRAIN WITH BEETS (RED HORSERADISH)

Steps:

• Grate the beets into a bowl using the fine side of a hand grater (wear gloves or you'll have some real memories that will last for days).
• Finely grate the horseradish into the bowl (do not touch your face!).
• Add the vinegar, salt, and sugar, and taste for seasoning.
• Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours before serving.
• Store covered in the refrigerator; will keep for several weeks with same strength, and afterwards, the intensity will be reduced.
