      Happy to report that the ketchup never happened. They used the maters for some pizza sauce. I don't think my suggestion of using just one cherry tomato to experiment had much impact on their decision. I don't think they were even listening. I'm used to that.

    You've got them right where you want them.

74 jars of horseradish.  Had roots that must be on steroids.  Some measured 2 and 2 1/2 inches across

      Speaking of horseradish, I have a couple of questions.
      Is all horseradish root the same?
      What makes one batch of horseradish hotter or milder than another?
      We were going to make some a few years ago but things didn't work out as planned. I still can get the roots but not sure what to do with them.

i cant and dont have an answer to the hotter or milder horseradish. the only thing i can speculate about this hotter then hello stuff is they add something to it to make it uneatable. i've been making horseradish for over 30 years, here's what i have learned.

1) dig it, clean it and grind in all in the same day.
2) keep it out of water as much as possible. i dig it, wash it off but dont keep it in water. when im done cleaning it i rinse it off, keep it out of water.
3) i use a pressure washer to help clean it, it cuts cleaning down immensely. still gotta scrap it a bit.
4) once its all ground, i let it sit for about 30-45 minutes.
5) my ingredients are simple. some salt, lemon juice and vinegar. i use a brand of vinegar calls thats smart. 4% acidity. this is a bit of a waiting game. i add vinegar as needed, not to much, need to allow the horseradish to absorb it. when i feel its got enough is when you stir it up with a slotted spoon juice kinda runs a bit out of the spoon.
6) i use baby food jars. once filled i let set in the frig for 2 days. then in the freezer making sure all jars are upright. once from i put them in brown paper bags doubled up. this keeps them from turning a bit brown. back in freezer.

i've had people tell me i make the best horseradish they've ever had!!!!
