So Will has been making a horseradish sauce... I'm not quiet sure what it is, because I find horseradish to be terrifying, so I've stayed far away from his concoction.
After hand shredding about 1.5 lbs of horseradish root, and letting it steep in vinegar for several days, he decided that the shred wasn't fine enough. To fix this, tried to run the mixture through the blender. This would have been okay, however the horseradish was very, very, very, tough, and he overfilled the blender jar. After about 30 seconds of trying to grind through some very angry horseradish, our poor blender gave out a belch of smoke and died.
Now while the loss of the blender is sad, Will swears that the horseradish sauce is turning out brilliantly. It certainly is a pretty color!
Wills Terrifying Horseradish Sauce
1.5 lbs fresh horseradish root
1.5 lbs beets
1 lbs carrot
12 cloves of garlic
32 oz good white vinegar
2 one quart mason jars
Peal and finely shred the root vegetables, transfer into a sterile mason jar. Boil vinegar, and pour over the vegetable mixture.
Allow to sit in the sun for a few days, and then transfer to the fridge for long term storage.
With how tough the horseradish is I recommend shredding the horseradish by hand or with an old fashioned salad shooter. But then again, maybe I'm just overly paranoid.
I heart horseradish.
