Horseradish Relish

Living as we do -  in the countryside, we are lucky to have access to many 'fruits of the fields'. Last week on a walk with friends I gathered enough wild plums to make 4lbs of yummy jam - all for the cost of a few bags of sugar!

This week I spotted some wild horseradish (it looks a bit like Dock but without the red veins) and with a bit of help from Henry managed to dig up enough tubers to take home and make into a relish.

It's pretty easy to make - but a good idea to wear goggles/sunglasses when grating as the juices are pretty powerful!

Here is the method:

Ingredients:

• One tuber of horseradish
• Creme Fraiche
• White wine vinegar

Method:

1. Clean, peel and finely grate the horseradish (this is when you might like to wear goggles)
2. Mix in 2 tablespoons of Creme Fraiche
3. Add 2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar

That's it! Serve as a dip, an accompanyment to beef dishes or add to mashed potatoe to give it a bit of zing!
