Sheryl, I used to grate the horseradish (after the first time doing it that way, I used the blender other wise you could die from the fumes. It is prowerful stuff!!) then put it in a jar with enough white vinegar to cover. It last a long time in the refrig. I never did can it but kept it for years. Just refresh the vinegar every so often.

Dig it after first frost for more flavor. I have always ground it outside and the fumes were not a problem. Have never canned it...just kept it in frig.
