Grind up and mix with some white vinegar. It's best after a day or two, but will keep in a glass jar for 4-6 weeks in the fridge. Great on a hot roast beef sandwich. I also like to add a bit to deviled eggs or mix it with ketchup and lemon juice as a shrimp cocktail sauce.

Grate it straight into freshly mashed potatoes. Extra points if you made the mashed potatoes with sour cream. Serve with anything--my god, they're good.

Does anybody know whether horseradish will sweeten with long cooking, the way garlic does?

I've been eating horseradish all my life and don't recall ever having it cooked. It's always been my impression that it's "heat" is somewhat volatile, in that it hits you in the nasal passages. This makes it good for spicing up something when you are having fine wines, as it's gone in a short period of time, as opposed to chili peppers, which can linger on the palate. I think cooking would defeat that, but a good alternative for cooking would be hot mustard powder.

Horse radish is widely used in Swedish cooking, and, no, it does not sweeten. You can add it to a Béchamel sauce and serve it with cod, grate it on smoked Salmon or add it to a meat stew or a chuck roast. My favourite: Turbot with Horse Radish, clarified Butter and new Potatoes. If you bring a Fèvre Chablis GC, I promise you won´t be disappointed.
