Comments on: Preparing horseradish http://stonehead.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/preparing-horseradish/ The trials and tribulations of a modern crofter Sun, 20 Jul 2008 08:05:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Una http://stonehead.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/preparing-horseradish/#comment-20022 Una Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:51:18 +0000 http://stonehead.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/preparing-horseradish/#comment-20022 A lovely recipe I got off of Public Radio years ago is Cranberry Horseradish relish; I make this every year to go with the Thanksgiving turkey. Put 1 cup of cranberries and one small onion through the meat grinder (mincer) (food processor would do, in a pinch, but the texture is better with the grinder, in my opinion). Add to this 1/2 cup of cultured sour cream, a small spoonful of honey (or sugar), just to take the edge off, it shouldn't end up sweet, and a large spoonful (or more, to taste) of prepared horseradish. The color is quite violently pink, but it tastes wonderful! BTW, I love your blog. Thanks for finding the time in your busy days to write about what you do.

The leaves look rather like dock or comfrey but I'm sure I've never noticed anything with those flowers before. Still it's amazing what you spot when you know what to look for that you would have sworn hadn't been there the day before. Mike, that's not a recipe, that's chemical warfare. Thanks for the link.

I've burned out the motors of no less than TWO food processors trying to shred Horseradish in too-large chunks. Go very, very slowly! My favourite recipe (a thing that came to me in a dream!) involves Horseradish, Mustard and Chillis. Still trying to perfect it... Ach no!

God knows how! I never knew him to have a cold - his blood must have run rather hot!

But do a Google image search using <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=Armoracia%20rusticana" rel="nofollow">"Armoracia rusticana"</a> as the keywords and you'll find plenty of images.

I don't know what it looks like but I am told it is often spotted growing wild. I'd like to be able to recognise it if I see one. I don’t suppose you took any photos of the growing plant?

Is it dead or alive and does it come from outer space? What? You eat them? You poor souls, we have food out here in Oz. What a strange looking “thing” you have placed next to the spoon.
