How To Make condiment essentials: spicy cocktail awesome sauce

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    You will need a saucepan, large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • 3
    I tried this recipe first with ketchup… nope. Then crushed tomatoes… better. Tomato puree… hands down winner.
  • 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.
  • 5
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 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.
  • 7
    Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then remove from the heat.
  • 8
    Allow to completely cool, and then add the lemon juice, and horseradish.
  • 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.
  • 10
    Stored in a non-reactive jar (glass) with a tight-fitting lid, it should last 7 - 10 days.
  • 11
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    12
    Use as a dipping sauce for seafood… Shrimp comes to mind. Or, I like dipping hushpuppies into this yummy sauce. Enjoy.
