Today we remembered to dig up some horseradish before the ground freezes. Managed to get half a dozen gnarly roots. After chopping at this stuff for EVER, it made a blender full. I had to do the actual blending out on the veranda because yeehaw, it was a killer. The fumes nailed me a couple of times even outside. We let it go for quite a while before adding the vinegar and it is HOT. It made this 8 cup mixing bowl full of prepared horseradish. I put most of it in the freezer in little jars. So good with all kinds of things including roast beef. I especially like it on a fried egg and bagel breakfast sandwich mixed with a bit of mayo to cut the heat. 
I didn't really use a recipe, just put enough cold water in the blender to be able to blend it up (takes a while) with a bit of sugar and salt, like a tiny bit. I ended up dividing it up into 2 batches because the blender just couldn't handle it. Each batch got about  a third cup of vinegar at the end, maybe after 10 minutes. 5 minutes would have been long enough.
