Comments
Roots can be shredded by hand. They may also be processed in blender, but may turn out slightly inferior. Horseradish should not be canned. Make only enough for a month at a time for peek flavor. Roots may be left in ground until usage, or may be dried by trimming tops and slicing or shredding root. Reconstitute by soaking root in equal ammounts of water for 30 minutes. My mother mixes the vinegar directly into root mix before putting into a jar.
