I grew horseradish this year, it's still in the ground but the ground isn't completely frozen yet. I do NEED to do something with it sooner than later.
My recipe books say to just grate it up, how much do I save to replant in the spring? How do I store the parts that I'm saving?

Any tips on how to make the horseradish sauce?

You can make some AWESOME medicine called Fire Cider with Horseradish and Apple Cider Vinegar. Recipes abound online! Congratulations! I love Horseradish and I haven't been able to find it locally.

I finally got the horseradish out of the garden today

It was quickly buried under several feet of snow which melted this past weekend, I was positive the ground wasn't frozen underneath though. And it wasn't. There were still worms right at the surface of the soil.

Before I lost my ambition, I grated it all up.
I started with the smaller bits which weren't too bad.
But the large roots? I don't know how to describe it! I'm not one to even think twice about onions...but this was in a league all of its own!

But it's done now, and hopefully I'll forget about this experience by this time next year when I can do it all over again lol!

The sauce is very yummy...has a real bite though! My FIL has something coming to him, he was convinced that you can't make it hotter than it is in the stores.
