Ingredients

  • 1 pound radishes stem and root removed
  • 1 cup white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 tsp mustard seeds optional
  • 3 12 ounce Ball (or similar) canning jars with lids and rings

Instructions

  1. Cut off the stems and the roots of the radishes and wash them well. Remove any and all dirt.

  2. Slice the radishes into thin, round slices-1/8 inch. Set aside.

  3. Place vinegar, water, salt and sugar into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

  4. While the mixture boils, fill the three jars with water-1/2 full. Place them into the microwave and heat for 3 minutes to get the jars hot.

  5. Remove the jars, carefully, from the microwave and discard the water.

  6. Fill the jars with the sliced radishes-up to the bottom of the rim of the jar where the ring covers-leave headspace.

  7. Fill jars with the hot liquid to cover the radishes.

  8. Wipe off the rim of the jar with a wet cloth to remove any sugary liquid. Place the lid on and the ring-hand tighten.

  9. Let the jars of pickled radishes cool for an hour on the kitchen counter. Then, refrigerate for 24 hours.

  10. Use as desired for up to 3 weeks.
