· 1 clove garlic
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1 teaspoon horseradish
· 1 cup hot vinegar
· 1 cup water

Add water to the peppers and garlic. Cook in a medium pan until tender, then press through fine sieve. Add all other ingredients and simmer until blended. Pour into hot ball jars; seal at once. The sauce may be thinned - as used - with either vinegar or salad oil.
