Preserve Horseradish – The Best Tips

With these methods, horseradish will keep for a long time

• The easiest way is to cut the unpeeled horseradish root into smaller pieces and freeze them.
• Another option is to grate the root. Mix in some lemon juice and freeze the grated horseradish.
• Horseradish will keep frozen for at least 6 months. However, it loses a little flavor.
• You can also preserve horseradish with vinegar.
• Grate the root finely and then add a dash of vinegar and half a teaspoon of salt.
• Pour this mixture into a small sterilized screw-top jar.
• Make sure the horseradish is completely covered with vinegar or it will turn brown.
• Screw the jar tightly on and then store it in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
• If you have a basement or garden, you can also bury the root in moist sand. It will keep like this for at least 8 weeks.
• Wrapped in cling film, the horseradish root stays fresh for 2 weeks in the vegetable compartment of your fridge.
