The secret to hot horseradish is to grow your own and, as Charles said,
fresh grate or grind. If you grow your own, water sparingly in the fall
and dig your horseradish after the first heavy frost. this allows the
sap time to flow back into the roots increasing the heat. After digging
the roots, wash them well, put them in ziplock bags(still wet), and
freeze them. You can remove what you need and grind or grate at any
time. Of course,
if you want hot, you could sprinkle a little of Jim's Red Savina(tm)
Powder on it. ;{)
