Ingredients

Scale

Pickling Solution

  • 1 1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (Bragg Organic recommended)
  • 1 cup hot water

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced (about 1/16-inch thick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Radishes: Begin by slicing your radishes as thinly as possible. Thin slices help the radishes absorb the pickling flavors quickly and evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistent thin slices.
  2. Pack the Container: Carefully stuff all the sliced radishes into a jar or bowl. Pack them closely together to maximize the quantity that fits in the container.
  3. Prepare the Pickling Solution: In a measuring cup, combine the apple cider vinegar and warm water in equal parts. Add the salt and sugar, stirring well until they are completely dissolved. This mixture forms the pickling brine.
  4. Combine and Marinade: Pour the pickling solution over the radishes ensuring all slices are submerged. Let the radishes sit at room temperature for about an hour to start absorbing the flavors.
  5. Store and Enjoy Later: After an hour, cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate. The radishes can continue to marinate in the fridge and stay crisp and flavorful for up to three weeks.

Notes

  • For best results, slice radishes very thinly to speed up pickling.
  • Use fine-grain sea salt for better dissolution and flavor.
  • The pickled radishes can be kept refrigerated up to three weeks.
  • If you prefer spicier pickles, consider adding sliced jalapeños or pepper flakes.
  • Use a clean jar or airtight container to store the pickles for maximum shelf life.
