horseradish
Hello,
I planted some horseradish this year. The instructions said (IIRC) to cut the roots into two inch chunks and plant these in a bucket (to prevent it spreading like a weed). Then to dig it up this time of year; use whatever you need for cooking and cur the rest into two inch lengths ready to plant and start all over again. Is this about right? What should I do with the ones to plant next year? Put them in a cool, dark, dry place? When do I plant them next year? In the meantime, how do I make horseradish sauce to go with my Sunday beef? I have found a few recipes that basically mix it with cream but they don't taste like the stuff in the jars ;) Thanks. |

Simply grate the horseradish, place in a bowl and add sea salt, black
pepper and wine vinegar. If you like it creamy, add a little mayonnaise. That's the basic recipe, quantities I leave to you. Enjoy!

You are right that it will spread like a weed if allowed; see it along hedgerows and grass verges. I think that if you want to replant you should do it straight away, as it is a hardy plant. One thing I do know, after a question on Gardeners' Question Time some while ago, is that you shoud make and eat your sauce when you want it, and not try to keep it. My s-i-l mixes it with Greek yogurt which makes it less fiery. Pam in Bristol |

Went to Lakeland shop (Cheadle Hulme) yesterday and had their Scottish
Beef Sandwiches with horseradish Cream! FANTASTIC! Not sure how you make it? James http://www.ukjay.co.uk On 22 Nov, 21:35, Fred wrote: Hello, I planted some horseradish this year.

When I tried it, I washed the roots thoroughly and grated them up into plastic bags and deep-froze.. When I needed some I took out a portion. let it thaw and treated it as fresh. Seemed to work well and was plenty powerful as well. -- ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°³ |

"Don't they get run over?". "Not until they're big enough" is the answer! Are you ever tempted to shout out 'Mint Sauce' when they wander near the road? ;-) Returning to horseradish, we grated ours and put it in jars in vinegar. Then when we want some, we take a spoonful or two and mix it with single cream. -- Malcolm Ah!! Horseradish ;-) Takes me back to the war years when we lived in London.
