Canning Horseradish Sauce Food

HORSERADISH (CANNED)

Steps:

• grated horseradish (trim skin with veggie peeler, wash and grind in a meat grinder or do in food processor) (I hear wearing goggles helps your eyes) Mix thoroughly with vinegar and salt using amounts as needed and pack into hot sterile jars.
• I usually process in a hot water bath for 10 min for pints.
• It is best to still store in the fridge, I think for colouring.
• If you want it creamy a client told me to put the whole mixture back into the food processor and puree a bit, I havent tried it yet but he said that is how the big companies do it.
• The heat all depends on the growing season and sometimes it gets hotter after stored.

HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks.
