If the root has a greenish tint or leaves are sprouting there will be very little flavor. If this is the case, place the root into a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 weeks before processing. The flavor of horseradish diminishes rapidly with time, that's why it can't be stored very long once processed. After you grate the root, cover it with white vinegar to prevent oxidation of the flavor. The longer you wait to add the vinegar, the hotter it will be! For less-hot horseradish add the vinegar 1-2 minutes after processing, for more-hot wait up to 6-8 minutes. You will not taste much of the vinegar.

Roots from the store should be processed in the same manner.

I have been looking locally for strong horseradish roots and so far have not found any. I live in Central Minnesota. I have a recipe for the pickels and just need something breathtakingly strong.

Please any suggestions?]]> buccanero Horseradish Forum Mon, 24 Jan 2011 21:16:17 +0000 http://www.horseradishplants.com/phorum5/phorum-5.2.10/read.php?1,1482,1483#msg-1483 http://www.horseradishplants.com/phorum5/phorum-5.2.10/read.php?1,1482,1483#msg-1483

What size jars should I use?

Do I have to bath the jars and sterilize for storage? or do I just put the finished product in a jar and make sure he keeps it in a refrigeraded display? What are my options and how long would it be safe for him to sell?

Thank you for the lovely recipes! I had been looking for such recipes for a while. can you perhaps tell me if one can preserve any of these recipes of yours other than in the refrigerator? I would like to make up a whole lot to have throughout the year.

Kind regards

I discovered growing horseradish a few years ago when a client wanted me to dig out a patch that was growing in the middle of their lawn.. wow what a job LOL.
So of course I harvested it all, planted some at my house and processed the rest.... THE BEST horseradish I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!

So after some investigating I found out that this horseradish came from a local patch that is over 100 years old. I'm in Quebec and wondering if anybody can tell me what origin it could or would be being that old... I'll get some pictures if that will help.

It is a super strong plant and flowers without fail every year and according to freinds and family it is the hottest they have ever had... though most have been eating store bought for far too many years haha.... It is a very hot one though.

Thanks in advance.

They didn't cream it but put it 'neat' in jars - maybe with a little water but I don't remember tasting any vinegar.
I have had 2 attempts of processing and both have been failures!
The first time I used a little vinegar and the second time a little water - but both times there was hardly any heat in it at all and I didn't even bother to use it as it was so uninteresting.
I always put in the water or vinegar straight away but it seems here that I should have not done this.
So how long will I wait before adding the vinegar or water - and how much water will I add to it as I don't like the vinegar taste with it.
thanks

The limit on how much to eat? We don't know the answer to that one. Maybe another reader has an idea. I would take a guess that it would be the same as spinach or other greens.

* The whole root can be grated at once and stored in a jar filled with white vinegar but it will not retain full flavor for too long. It is better to grate an inch or two off the bottom of the root as needed.

As a background, all roots were first year roots, 20 from the previous year's crop and 5 newly purchased starter roots. We processed all of the roots at once, chopping/puree-ing them with tapwater. After chopping, we would strain the water and wait to "deactivate" with vinegar, as much as 12 minutes, but that didn't seem to make it any hotter. We then tried leaving it in the water and then strain the water and add vinegar after the X minutes with no difference in effect.

Could we have pulled them too early? Too late?
Would there be an issue with variety? all of our starter roots came from Burpee.
Should they be chopped dry? or with distilled water? could our local well water have the same effect as putting vinegar on them at the start?
Does how small you chop or puree them make a difference in the flavor?

thank you for any help you can provide
