From Scratch: Prepared Horseradish

Finely Minced Horseradish

Homemade prepared horseradish is subtler than commercial, at least in my experience. It should be used sparingly as it packs a bigger punch. As for how to use it, well, I’ve used it on bratwursts, steaks, fish, as well as in salads, such as beet-apple-walnut salad. Plus I will be making some compound butter and creamy sauces from it later this season. A little goes a long way!

No-Cook Freezer Jam

Half-Pints of Raspberry

I had no idea freezer canning was so damn simple!

Now, these preserves are very fresh and spreadable, so only use absolutely ripe fruit. Canning fruit is usually blemished and banged up, but the flavor is the only thing that matters.
