Horseradish sauce recipe

[Simpo Two]

As this is not Worcester Sauce I thought I'd start a new thread... this is a recipe for weapons-grade horseradish sauce I got from somewhere:

1 horseradish
1/6 pint milk
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 saltspoon salt
Sprinkling of pepper
1 tablespoon vinegar

Grate horseradish. Mix well with milk, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in vinegar last of all. Leave until cold (I presume the reaction is exothermic!)

[Goochie]

"leave until cold" ?? But where does it say the mixture has to be heated?

[brum]

It doesn't - hence the OP's assertion that it might be exothermic

[Simpo Two]

I'm guessing that you might have to heat it slightly to get the sugar and salt to dissolve, and generally help all the ingredients meld together. But you're right, it's not mentioned.

ETA: It comes from 'Modern Cookery' by Lydia Chatterton, published in 1938, and belonging to my mother. I found a copy on eBay:

Do supermarkets sell horseradish?

Not sure. I found mine grated in a jar in a farm shop - or of course you can grow them: http://www.harvestwizard.com/tags/horseradish

Think I might try it!

Already grated horse radish is like licking air compared to fresh.

We have a horseradish in a pot, (Looks like a big Doc Leaf)
Grated from fresh this stuff is seriously overpowering, nose cleared, eye's smarting stuff for anyone near the kitchen.

Good luck

Tried making it from the root and it is critical when you add the vinegar as to how hot it is. I cleared the downstairs with the stuff.

If you can get horseradish root - Use some of it to make a Horseradish and Citrus crusted Tuna..It is superb !

[Steve Evil]

I had some really good home-made (pub-made?) horseradish sauce with a roast dinner at a local pub recently. Didn't need to pluck out any nose hair for weeks afterwards.

Hugh Fernly-Whittinstool (or whatever he's called) claims the you can easily find Horseraddish at the side of most country lanes.

I'm not convinced though.

It's mostly cow parsley round here; not sure if you can make anything out of that.


It seems I may have started a craze for horseradish... well it's about time all that foreign chille/curry muck was put in its place. We shall now sing the National Anthem

[Goochie]

I had horseradish last night - stirred into mash and served with some nice butchers sausages and gravy. I love it yet I cant stand even the mildest curry!

If you're buying it in a jar it has to be Colmans.

[Frankeh]

I like my horseradish how I like my women.
Burning my face off. Wait, what.

In my late mothers 'Complete Home Cookery Book' by Mrs Stanley Wrench M.C.A it gives 4 different recipes for horseradish. I don't know the year it was published but it contains over 2000 recipes and hints on housework,kitchen equipment,marketing,seasonal cookery,nursery cookery,sweets and candies, vegetable cookery, invalid cookery, pickles and preserves,beverages,carving and table service.
It has some amazing recipes.

Waitrose (or at least the branch in Cobham, Surrey) sells fresh horseradish, though I think I've only seen it in spring.

Krane (Kosher horseradish and beetroot sauce) is available year-round and is blimmin' lovely on its intended accompaniment of beef or salmon - though I use it on ham and sausages as well.

It's sad how much knowledge has been lost. I know I'm out of fashion but there was a lot to be said for man going out to earn money, woman keeping home and being mother. It worked, and it worked for thousands of years.

Or Woman going out to Hunt Money and Man Staying At Home With The Kids, if they're better at it?

Is there any bloke here who wouldn't jump at the chance to sit on his *rse for the rest of his life - and be funded to do so - should the opportunity present itself?

Possibly.
