How To Make Fresh Horseradish Food

PREPARED HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
• Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

HOMEMADE PREPARED HOT HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Place diced horseradish in a food processor; add a splash of cold water. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to blend. Scrape down sides of food processor container (the fumes are very strong, so keep your face away from the bowl and the room well ventilated).
• Continue blending, adding a bit more water if mixture seems too dry. Process until horseradish is finely ground. Wait 2 minutes before adding the vinegar and salt; supposedly this makes the horseradish hotter. After 2 or 3 minutes, add vinegar and salt. Continue processing until mixture is smooth and creamy or to your desired consistency, adding more water if necessary. Transfer to airtight storage containers. Refrigerate.

FRESH HORSERADISH HOT STUFF

Steps:

• Place 3 ice cubes in a food processor.
• Remove peel with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
• Cut into pieces the size of the ice cubes and rinse.
• Placing root in food processor with salt and pulse till fine.
• Add chilled water only if needed. I try not to because I don`t like it watered down.
• Let sit in processor for 3-4 minutes to produce heat. Then add vinegar and pulse to blend.
• If the heat is not desired go ahead and add the vinegar without waiting.
• Jar the ground horseradish keeping the fumes away from eyes and nose. It`s powerful! So do be careful.

TRADITIONAL HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
• Store in a mason jar in the fridge.
• Will keep for about 3 weeks, no problem. The potency will diminish over time.

HOW TO MAKE FRESH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• 1. Purchase horseradish. OR If you have access to a garden horseradish plant, use a sturdy shovel to dig up an 8-10-inch long tuber of horseradish. (You can't pull it up.) (Don't plant it unless you want to keep it forever.) The plant itself, once established, propagates with tubers, and is very hardy. Wear gloves when hndling horseradish. Remove the leaves from the root and rinse the dirt off of the root.
• 2. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the surface skin off of the tuber. Chop into pieces. Put into a food processor. Add a couple tablespoons of water. Process until well ground. At this point be careful. A ground up fresh horseradish is many times as potent as freshly chopped onions and can really hurt your eyes if you get too close. Keep at arms length away, and work in a well ventilated room. Strain out some of the water if the mixture is too liquidy. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Pulse to combine. Note that the vinegar will stabilize the level of hotness of the ground horseradish, so do not wait too long to add it to the mixture.
• 3. Using a rubber spatula, carefully transfer the grated horseradish to a jar. It will keep for 3 to 4 weeks in the refrigerator.

HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE

• 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.

HOW TO MAKE PREPARED FRESH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Wash the horseradish roots very thoroughly and peel them using a vegetable peeler and removing all the brown spots.
• Quickly rinse the peeled horseradish again to remove any lingering dirt. Dry well.
• Either grate it by hand (small shredder side of a box grater) in a well-ventilated room or cut it into chunks and process it for a few seconds in the food processor.
• Mix it with salt and vinegar. Don't add too much vinegar, the mixture should be wet but not sopping wet. If you add the vinegar immediately after grating the horseradish, the final product will be milder. If you wait for a few minutes before adding the vinegar, the preserved horseradish will be stronger.
• Stuff the horseradish into small jars, pushing it down with a small wooden rolling pin or something similar. If the mixture seems to be too dry on top, pour a few more drops of vinegar in the jars.
• Screw the lids of the jars on top and seal them with some sticking plaster for good measure. Keep refrigerated.
