How do YOU process horse radish?

I peel it and put in a food processor. don't breathe the fumes. don't get fumes in your eyes.

Same as Danny, peel and food processor.

Same here, but peel it underwater in the sink

Interesting. My family recipe adds vinegar ,salt, lemon juice, and a little sugar.
Good idea peeling under water. Grandma said the sooner you add the vinegar, the less the heat.

Got a ham thawing. Going to dig some root tonight.

I like to puree it at meal time with a little heavy cream to make a nice paste. Most folks say its to hot. Vinegar does kill the heat. Put vinegar in the food processer if you want very little kick. its best freshly pureed. that good spicy flavor will not last. You can freeze unpeeled roots and they will keep for months. you can dig them in any month with an r in it. replant the top of the root when you dig them.

This bed is two years old. will dig some in September

Nice Mole, yours sprouted a ladder.
Thanks for those tips Danny, will replant.

I’ve found that when I dig mine with a green top it has a sweet flavor so I wait until the tops are dead and its cold, then I peel it and grind though the a 1/8 inch screen, wait about 10 minuets then add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of horseradish, heat though and jar. Horseradish.org I believe is the official site of the national horseradish association.

I've found it best processed outside. Too much like tear gas in the kitchen otherwise !!!

I like to invite friends over. Ask them help me do it in the kitchen! The ones that stay I'll give a jar to him to take home

Do you have to plant it every year? How big do the roots get?
Thanks

plant it once. when you dig just cut the top of the root off and replant

Add some mustard seed.

^^^^ this,Then bottle and cover with vinegar.

Read somewhere about chewing gum when chopping onions to keep dry eyes. May work for horse radish. I always like a cigarette hanging out to keep my eyes burning.

I learned that lesson the hard way!

I grind it up in the house I brush the roots good and then grind up and let site a few mins. then add vinegar and sugar. Works for me, I do not worry about the fumes. Like stated once it is grow when harvest cut the tops off leave some of the base on it then replant the tops. They will grow back after,

You guys who grind inside are a lot tougher than my wife or I are. I tried grinding inside the house...….my eyes were a flood.....had snot hanging out of my nose.....never knew you would drool like that!

From now on, it's outside on a windy day!

Vile weed in my estimation.
