Horseradish Sauce ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1-1/2 to 2 T. grated horseradish 2 tsp. wine vinegar 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. mustard 1/4 tsp. salt pinch of freshly ground pepper 1 tsp. sugar 1-1/2 C. softly whipped cream Put the horseradish in a bowl with the wine vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, freshly ground pepper and sugar. Fold in the softly whipped cream, but do not overmix or the sauce will curdle. It keeps for 2 to 3 days; cover so that it does not pick up flavors in the refrigerator. This is a fairly mild horseradish sauce. If you want to really clean your sinuses, you can increase the amount of horseradish! Enjoy! Logged |

Add flour to make a roux, cooking until light tan. Off heat, pour in boiling milk, stir back on heat to boil. This makes a smooth, thick basic white sauce. Add cheese and garlic and stir to corporate. Use cream to bring to desired consistency. Mircowave pine nuts 1-1/2 minutes on high or briefly saute' with a little butter, then add to sauce if desired (they give a nice little added crunch). Correct seasoning.
