Spicy Quick Pickled Radishes

radishes

white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

water

honey

salt

red pepper

mustard seeds (optional)

Optional add-ins: garlic cloves, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander seeds

To prepare the radishes: Slice off the tops and bottoms of the radishes, then use a sharp chef&#8217;s knife or mandoline to slice the radishes into very thin rounds. Pack the rounds into a pint-sized canning jar. Top the rounds with red pepper flakes and mustard seeds.

To prepare the brine: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, honey or maple syrup and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, then pour the mixture over the radishes.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature. You can serve the pickles immediately or cover and refrigerate for later consumption. The pickles will keep well in the refrigerator for several weeks, although they are in their most fresh and crisp state for about 5 days after pickling.

Wow. Loved them and so easy! My husband normally won't eat radishes but this is so different. Don't be afraid to try. You will be pleasantly surprised!

Ha ha ha! That is the one thing about this recipe that is a turn off. They stink when you open the container! But they taste delicious! Just made another batch of them last night.

Hey I.m Jeff,
Great blog My refrig is just is just like yours.  You are so cool.  Great
thoughts.  You will find a good one.

Hi! I know this is an old recipe but I was just wondering and couldn't find an answer- once the pickles are done can I reuse the vinegar mix to make new pickles or should I start from the beginning and just dump it out? Thanks!!! They are so good.

I quite literally just made these and snuck a taste while the radishes were still warm--they're amazing! The salt, sweet, and heat all complement each other absolutely perfectly :)

Made mine with hand cur radishes that I lacto-fermented with sea salt and a bit of organic citric acid. I then added homemade cider vinegar and let it sit for another day. Beautiful rosy color and tasty. Took it another step and pureed them in the blender with ripe (red) Thai chiles. OMG! Spicy with the radish flavor...almost like horseradish and very pretty. Lots of uses for this. Btw, I don't do sweet but this had so much flavor that wasn't needed! Happy, happy, happy! Thanks!!

Hi, I love the radish recipe.

My question is about doing a water bath for preservation. 

Will radish stand up to that?

Thanks

I know this comment was a year ago but I wanted to leave this here for people thinking of canning quick pickles. Brine requirements for canned pickles are more stringent than they are for quick pickles. Acidity is really important for controlling anaerobic bacterial growth (like botulism). You really should just pick up a canning book somewhere or find a recipe from an edu site.

By the way, enjoyed the recipe, threw some ginger and onions and it was great.

Quick thought--don't cut the tops off your radishes, although you may need to trim them.  Use the top as a handle while slicing on the mandoline.  Save those fingers!  This is a yummy recipe--we took it camping and it was great in the heat!

These are delish and also the fact that you have the scaling thing on your recipes is AH-MAZING. I haven’t ever seen that before.

My bosses receive fresh veggies weekly from a farming coop. After receiving a third week of radishes, your spicy radish recipe caught my eye.
I halved the pepper flakes. You were absolutely right! They pack a punch!
I think they will be well received after cooling completely. Thanks for posting.

This is so yummy!  Perfect crunch and taste!  Could I pickle fresh ginger this way too?

Also I used a protective glove when using the mandoline, which works great to provide an extra layer between my hand and the blade.

Yum! Super easy and goes with anything. We had them on a vegetarian Korean burger and now using in sandwiches and salads. It's a great way to use up raddishes when recipes only need a couple - but this is going to be my go-to pickle recipe from now on.

Dear Cookie &amp; Kate, I loved the pickled radishes, they'd be a great addition to a coleslaw recipe, I've been a Certified Gourmet Chef for over 46 years now, and one thing I like to do is find foods that work well together, thank you

These pickled radishes are very good. I used VT maple syrup and left out the mustard seeds.

Sorry, we did not enjoy the flavour of these pickles. I think the vinegar clashed with something else and they had an earthy flavour.

So I bought some turnips in the near-empty store (I think they are turnips!) not knowing what do with them. I decided to do a Lockdown experiment and tried to make pickles/ferments using salt/brine and this recipe. 

This recipe was hands down the best! I am eating them in my flat, in Costa, South of Lisbon with Japanese curry rice. Yum :D

Muito obrigada Kate!

I made this - my first time eating/making pickled radish - and I ate the whole jar at the weekend. Not even sorry for it. Just made another two jars. I also made a coleslaw pickle with the leftover pickle juice from the weekend. Tastes delicious! Excellent recipe.

These Easy Pickled Radishes, which are quickly and easily made, require minimal effort but produce maximum flavour! They are crunchy, spicy and tangy, as well as adding colour and a refreshing note to many dishes. The sliced radishes are added to a simply prepared and full of flavour brine. After a short wait, they are ready to eat. It doesn’t come much better or easier than that.

Easy Pickled Radishes

(180 ml) white vinegar (See Note 2)

(80 ml) water (See Note 3)

(80 g) sugar

tsp coarse sea salt (See Note 4)

tsp red chilli pepper flakes

mustard seeds

black peppercorns

Sterilise the jar or jars you&#39;ll be using to store the pickles. Choose glass jars with an airtight, metal lid and ensure they have been washed by hand in hot soapy water then rinsed well. Check that the metal lids do not have rubber inserts – if they do, allow them to air dry, instead of placing in the oven.Preheat the oven to 130 Degrees C (270 F) and place the jars in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep the jars warm.

To Sterilise the Jars:

Thinly slice the radishes using a mandolin or sharp knife.

In a small non-reactive saucepan, combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt and seasonings. Over a medium heat, stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. (See Note 5).
