Ingredients

  • a small teaspoonful of salt
  • two ounces
  • four tablespoonsful of good cream
  • three dessertspoonsful of vinegar
  • 1 teaspoonful
  • 4 tablespoonsful
  • 3 dessertspoonsful
  • one should be chili when the root is mild

Directions

1

(_To serve hot or cold with roast beef._)

2

Wash and wipe a stick of _young_ horseradish, scrape off the outer skin, grate it as small as possible on a fine grater, then with two ounces (or a couple of large tablespoonsful) of it mix a small teaspoonful of salt and four tablespoonsful of good cream; stir in briskly, and by degrees, three dessertspoonsful of vinegar, one of which should be chili vinegar when the horseradish is mild. To heat the sauce, put it into a small and delicately clean saucepan, hold it over, but do not place it _upon_ the fire, and stir it without intermission until it is near the point of simmering; but do not allow it to boil, or it will curdle instantly.

3

Horseradish pulp, 2 oz. (or 2 _large_ tablespoonsful); salt, 1 teaspoonful; good cream, 4 tablespoonsful; vinegar, 3 dessertspoonsful (of which one should be chili when the root is mild).

4

_Obs._—Common English salad-mixture is often added to the grated horseradish when the sauce is to be served cold.
