Horseradish - 2011 Herb of the Year
Every year the International Herb Association chooses an Herb of the Year. This year it is horseradish. I suggest you go to the following websites to read about horseradish.
I love it with roast beef, but I also use mustard/horseradish in toasted cheese sandwiches to spice them up.
At the Master Gardeners Christmas Potluck this year, someone brought the most delicious cranberry salsa and I want to share the recipe with you. I made it for Christmas and it was a hit, even with teenagers! Fresh cranberries and cilantro make it a great source of vitamins and anti-oxidants as well. I used a little fresh orange juice to sweeten instead of sugar. Experiment and Enjoy!
CRANBERRY SALSA
1bag fresh cranberries, rinsed and chopped (best in food processor)
Half bunch fresh cilantro, chopped2 Scallions, chopped
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/2 -- 3/4 C sugar
Pinch dried hot pepper flakes

Combine the above the day before you serve to 'marry' the flavors. Keeps well in the refrigerator.
