Sweet and Spicy Pickled Radishes

Step 1

Wash and dry the radishes - slice thin and add to a large bowl along with the chopped cilantro and jalapeño - set aside.

Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the top of the mixture in the jar, if needed, top off with additional vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Place the lid and ring tightly on the jar and allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours before placing in the refrigerator.
