Recipe notes

Prepared horseradish aka pickled horseradish. It’s the grated horseradish in bottles in a clear liquid sauce, not the creamed sauce. Follow this link for more info on differences in horseradish sauces.
The acidity of the apple juice (3.4 pH) plus the cider vinegar (3.10 pH), combined with processing the filled jar, is what makes this recipe safe for canning.
Instead of the sugar, you could use the same volume amount of Splenda®, or 1 ½ teaspoons liquid stevia. For stevia we’d recommend Better Stevia liquid stevia.
