Note
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The horseradish flavor may mellow over time, so give it a good stir before serving.
For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of hot pepper sauce or use less horseradish. For extra heat, increase the hot sauce or use fresh grated horseradish instead of prepared.
Ensure the whipped cream is cold for best results. If the cream is not stiffly whipped, the sauce may be thinner than desired.
Serve with sliced ham, ham loaf, ham balls, or as a dipping sauce for holiday appetizers.
