I've been waiting and waiting to make this recipe. It's spicy and I have a couple of friends who don't like spicy. But tonight's Sunday dinner is my golden opportunity. Small group and most are ok with spicy. 

I did not use 2 T or 3 T of horseradish. I used a heaping tablespoon and it was just right. It still cleared the sinuses. 

The sweet and spicy combo of this with the cool cream cheese is really yummy. I have visions of baking chicken in this sauce at some point (sans the cream cheese).
