Title: HORSERADISH BUTTER
Categories: Spreads
Yield: 1 servings

1/4 c Prepared horseradish
1/2 c Butter

Blend together and use as a spread for canapes.
Garnish as desired. The Int'l Horseradish Festival is
held in Collinsville, IL (about 10 miles east of St.
Louis, MO) every May. Sixy percent of the worlds
horseradish is grown there. It's pretty easy to grow.
Why is it Hot? Highly volatile oils are released by
enzyme activity when the root cells are crushed. To
grind: Wash & peel dice in small cubes. Process in a
blender with enough cold water to just cover. Add 2-3
T. white vinegar ane 1/2 t. salt. Process no more than
half a blender jar. The time you add the vinegar is
critical as this determines how hot it will be. If you
like it hot wait up to 3 minutes to add the vinegar as
this stops the emzymatic action.
