  If you would rather not cry.

  Otherwise: skip all of the above

Method

1. 01Peel the horseradish. Do this near an open window, and do not put your face over the food processor when you open it — this is not a joke.
2. 02Grate the beetroot and horseradish, or blitz in short pulses.
3. 03Add the vinegar, sugar and salt and pulse to combine.
4. 04Taste and adjust. More vinegar sets the heat where it is; less, and it keeps building.
5. 05Keeps three weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge, losing heat slowly the whole time.
