Horseradish

Making and eating homemade horseradish is an experience. If you like the kind you buy in a jar, you will LOVE the real thing.  It will burn the nose hairs you didn't even know you had! Open a window and wear goggles. This stuff is strong.

This isn't an exact recipe but it's hard to mess it up:

  1. Peel horseradish with a sharp knife. Most vegetable peelers don't work that well. 
  2. Dice into small cubes and place into a food processor.
  3. Add cold water, just enough to cover to cover the blades. Add a few ice cubes. 
  4. Blend until you've reached desired consistency. 
  5. For each cup of grated horseradish, you will want to add 2-3 TB of white vinegar and 1/2 ts of salt. If you don't like it too hot, add the vinegar right away. Wait 3 minutes or so to add the vinegar if you want it stronger. Depending on the desired consistency, you might want to strain it.
