This homemade horseradish is strong and potent, and due to volatile compounds within the horseradish root that are released when it’s processed, it will make your eyes tear up, but push yourself through the tears and you’ll prepare a lovely, probiotic condiment that can keep for months in the fridge. Serve it with roast meats or stir it into a homemade mayonnaise.
