HOW TO STORE HORSERADISH SAUCE

• Serve: Horseradish Sauce can be at room temperature for up to 2 hours, but it’s best to keep it chilled since there is dairy. It is best served at least 4 hours after making, the longer the better the flavor.
• Store: Store Horseradish Sauce n an airtight container, like a glass jar, for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. It will naturally separate a bit so stir before serving.
• Freeze: Don’t freeze Creamy Horseradish because water in the sauce separates when frozen and then thawed and it becomes grainy. You can freeze prepared horseradish without the cream for up to 6 months in a sealed container.
