Horseradish

[Dom]

Does anyone make or grind their own?I ask because I'm not sure when to pull up from soil and not sure how to make it.

Good luck, Dom !!    I never did horseradish myself, but my neighbor used to do it...He told me to make sure to grind it OUTSIDE !!...Hehehe....

I wait to dig mine up after a good killing frost. I once ground my whole harvest at once using my wife's food processor in the kitchen - big mistake. I now just use a box grater and only do enough to last a couple weeks. The roots will last a long time in the back of the fridge. After you have it grated, add vinegar until it is the  consistency you want. Once grated, a chemical reaction occurs that gives it its heat. The vinegar stops the reaction. The longer you wait, the hotter it will be (supposedly).
