Today was the day we set aside to dig our horseradish, clean it, grind it and get it in jars! Wow what a bumper crop we had this year 14 pints!
I am sharing some pictures with you in case you aren't familiar with the process. The big pile of green leaves is what the plant portion grows like, the blue bin is full of the root end that gets thrown back in the dirt along with all the leaves and tiny roots. The yellow bowl is filled with our roots that will get ground up!
It is great to have this project done as the grinding gets very very potent smelling-it is like the strongest onion times 100!
Our initial taste test gave wonderful results-I would say our most flavorful harvest to date!
Uncle Bill would definately be jealous of this harvest if he were still with us!
