I come by my love of Horseradish thanks to my father. There was always a jar in our refrigerator when I was growing up and the dishes it was slathered on, too many to name. When I moved into a new home in Denver, I was curious to see a large leafy plant against the far fence.
Some research revealed that it was a horseradish plant. It was so much fun to make my own prepared horseradish from the root of the plant. And it made a great Christmas present for my dad. What great memories.
