Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 This is what I do. You can hand grate the peeled horseradish root or you can do in the food processor. Be careful to wear rubber gloves if you grate on the fine grater and don't breathe in close to the root. It has fumes and it's hot for your skin. I use food processor it's faster but don't open top and breathe in the fumes from there either. If you grate then you need to mix the vinegar and ingredients soon or the longer the grated root sits without the vinegar mixed into it the hotter it seems to gets. Horseradish From Scratch 1/2 cup peeled and diced horseradish root 1/3 cup plus about 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 teaspoon white sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt or pinch of salt Place everything in food processor and process until done. Store in glass jar in refrigerator. You can gate root and then mix all together. " Purple haze all in my brain; Lately things just don't seem the same.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thanks, Donna. Now all I need to do is spot the horseradish in the greengrocer's, eh? It was available in the shops near us in Montreal - although it took me a while to figure out that raifort meant horseradish LOL Somehow I didn't recognize the root. I buy mine in jars, because I don't use much. Will this keep a long time in the fridge? Maybe I should use more of it! The first time as an adult I remember tasting freshly homemade horseradish was in Sweden, but I think I recall some dairy in that too? Maybe I'm mixing it up with somewhere else. Shall try this when I get the chance ;-) Best love, Pat , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > This is what I do. > You can hand grate the peeled horseradish root or. . .
