Tear-jerker Horseradish by ronnymarcus

I made Tear Jerker Horseradish today and it worked out very well. I took the precaution of using latex gloves to handle the root. I did use my Cuisinart and diced the root into small pieces.

I had just prior ground up some fresh ginger root. I intentionally left the dribs and drabs in the bucket as I find those two roots compatible and it wasn't an overly large amount of ginger.

I used only a single smaller root which filled the traditional jar size you get when you buy horseradish commercially twice. So one root was plenty for my home and my mother-in-laws. I cut the ingredients proportionately.

I substituted apple cider vinegar and agave nectar but I don't think that makes any enormous difference in the end. The thing that bothers me most is I didn't need the tissues. My root seemed quite fresh, was a nice firm but still pliable white shade but it didn't burn my eyes. Perhaps because of using the Cuisinart instead of a hand grater.

End Result was good news! I will never buy the commercial stuff again. It is perfect and I'm looking forward to a nice roast beef to go with. I did notice that this has been reviewed previously but couldn't find it.

That is so cool Laura and I love your picture. Is this homemade Horseradish something that can store in the fridge for a couple of months or do you kind of have to use it immediately?

Home made and I believe that like jalapenos in a jar this stuff is evil enough to stay pest free for months. The tell of when it is done is the color. When Horseradish gets tire it turns brownish instead of a nice perky white color. for something that takes about 15 minutes to fix up I don't feel too bad when its replacement time.
