#autumn foraging

A relatively recent birthday tradition is foraging for birthday horseradish.  We revisited the same site as last year, to find that the plant had grown even bigger!  We came prepared with a legit shovel this time, and sliced a big nob of root (instead of digging a whole taproot).  

We got about 500g of usable root; and a few nubs to experiment with planting (at least, overwintering in a pot indoors).  

I made a horseradish cranberry sauce (added orange juice + zest)!  It goes well with pork roast.  

The rest made a decent-sized jar of prepared horseradish (grated root + salt + vinegar) and I froze the rest (grated root + salt).  We’ll see how both these preservation methods work.  

The little end-bits leftover from grating, I threw into pickle jars.  Those pickles pack a wallop!

It's autumn olive season on the east coast, so I figured I'd share one of my favorite pages from my fruit foraging zine! You can do your local ecosystem a solid this fall by eating this invasive fruit & helping curb its spread.

Read the whole zine here! https://ko-fi.com/s/bd38ecf5e4
