horesradish

looked back a few pages and didn’t find a topic. anyone make horseradish here????? my basic reciepe is horseradish of course, vinegar, a bit of salt and lemon juice.

has anyone put garlic in theres?????? thinking of trying this!

When I use horseradish, I make a garlic aioli and add a scoop of horseradish so adding garlic directly to your horseradish recipe might be good.

I haven’t done the garlic yet but also have thought about it. Last fall I found a pretty decent root right along a gravel road that’s not maintained any more. Found some really nice asparagus there too. The horseradish is hot, but tasty. I like to put a teaspoon into fresh cabbage slaw to juice things up.

I peel and chunk the root up into 1/2″ to 3/4″ cubes, then run it thru the meat grinder into a bowl with some white vinegar. This then goes thru the food processor on puree. I add the lemon juice and some salt just before the food processor. I pack this in 1/32 pint jars and keep in the fridge.

My grandpa use to make horseradish, sadly I don’t know where he picked it or what the tops even look like? Any pics? Or should I just use the Google?

I HAVE 2 PATCHES, one at my place other at my moms. both were started just by the small stringy roots your discard and the tops you cut off from the leaf’s! I alternate patches every other time.

I look at the roots they sell and laugh, kinda spendy if I might say!

Love horesradish though I have not planted any yet.
Question, have you got moles in your yard? Its been said the root is a great deterrent for moles. Also, does horseradish spread and become invasive?

NO MOLES THAT I HAVE SEEN. YES it can spread easily and is very invasive. don’t plant in your garden. my horseradish patch is maybe 15 ft from my garden but wont spread there. I have landscape timber around it and the grass keeps it controlled. any little root can start it somewhere. if you do decide to plant it put it in an area where that’s all you want to grow there!

Thanks. Ive got a small piece of property the township wont let me build on because its to small. An ever expanding patch may be in order.

till it up get rid of any grass that could limit it to start!
