Introduction

Let me start by saying this is a loose recipe. I do not cook w/ recipes, I just make it up as I go. I have listed horseradish as in ingredient.. this is best made with tastefully simply's howlen horseradish which is not alway available so you can substitute fresh if needed. The secret to this is to let the oil/butter mixture heat slowly for 30 to 45 minutes do all the flavors have time to infuse the sauce... Let me start by saying this is a loose recipe.
