Hi I'm very new to all this sausage making (in fact made my first batch last weekend). But I make fresh horseradish sauce quite a lot and a tip I picked up a few years ago was to just let the horseradish infuse into the mayonnaise/cream and then remove it. This makes a much more pleasant and subtle horseradish sauce. Rahther than adding a cream or vinegar based sauce to your sausage mix, you could perhaps try the same thing by boiling your water content and pouring this over some grated horseradish leave it to cool completely and then sieve the mixture. Dont worry about getting all the tiny bits out I don't. As for quantities I use 1oz of grated fresh horseradish to 4 tablespoons of cream/mayo, but this may be a bit strong. Otherwise if you are using fresh horseradish I would certainly soak it for a short while just to soften it.
Cheers and good luck, let me know how you get on.
mmmmmmm Sausages!
