If you’ve been following my website for any length of time you know that I’m ALL about homemade condiments and seasoning blends.

Not to mention homemade doesn’t have any of the fillers, additives and preservatives found in store-bought condiments. This homemade horseradish sauce is a prime example of how homemade sauces excel in every respect. Just a dollop of this will raise your dish to new flavor heights!

What is Prepared Horseradish?

This horseradish cream sauce recipe calls for “prepared horseradish”. You can find it in any grocery store; it’s finely shredded horseradish root and usually comes in clear jars. Be careful not to confuse it with horseradish “sauce”, the store-bought version of what we’re making homemade.

Alternatively you can use freshly grated horseradish root but be careful: it is much more intense than prepared horseradish so you will need to use half the quantity.

How Long Does Horseradish Sauce Keep?

Stored in an airtight dish in the refrigerator this sauce will keep for up to a week. It will keep for 2-3 weeks if you omit the chives and add them just before serving.

Horseradish Sauce Recipe

Very fast and simple to make, simply combine all ingredients in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons of horseradish, taste it, and add an additional tablespoon if you prefer it stronger (note, that flavor will intensify the longer it sits).

Note: We’re using crème fraîche for this creamy horseradish sauce; it is richer, thicker and less tangy than sour cream. However, if you cannot find crème fraîche you can use sour cream.

There are so many delicious ways to serve this sauce; see the serving recommendations above.

Enjoy!
