condiment essentials: spicy cocktail awesome sauce

How To Make condiment essentials: spicy cocktail awesome sauce

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  You will need a saucepan, large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
• 
  Step 3
  I tried this recipe first with ketchup… nope. Then crushed tomatoes… better. Tomato puree… hands down winner.
• 
  Step 4
  When I am talking about “prepared” horseradish, I am not talking about horseradish cream. This is full-blown horseradish. My favorite brand is: Bubbies Prepared Horseradish. If you can find it, pick it up… it is awesome.
• 
  Step 5
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 6
  Add all of the ingredients (except the Additional Items) to a saucepan over medium-low heat.Whisk to combine, and slowly, slowly, bring up to a simmer.
• 
  Step 7
  Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then remove from the heat.
• 
  Step 8
  Allow to completely cool, and then add the lemon juice, and horseradish.
• 
  Step 9
  I would suggest that you add 1 teaspoon of horseradish at a time, then taste and see if you are happy. I usually use 3 teaspoons, or more… I like it hot.
• 
  Step 10
  Stored in a non-reactive jar (glass) with a tight-fitting lid, it should last 7 - 10 days.
• 
  Step 11
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 12
  Use as a dipping sauce for seafood… Shrimp comes to mind. Or, I like dipping hushpuppies into this yummy sauce. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 13
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
