Ingredients
Core Ingredients
- 1 cup water 236 mL, hot
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt non-iodized
- ¾ cup white wine vinegar 175 mL
- ½ lb radish 18 to 10
Optional Extras
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 2 bay leaf
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- ½ tsp coriander seeds
- ½ tsp black peppercorns
Instructions
- Liquid: Heat water in a kettle, on the stove, or in the microwave until steaming hot. Stir in sugar and salt until sugar dissolves. Stir in vinegar.
- Radishes: Thinly slice the radishes, with a mandoline slicer (for ultra-thin slices) or by hand (for slightly thicker, crunchier pickled radishes).
- Combine: Add radishes to a lidded, non-reactive container (like a glass jar or ceramic vessel – I used a 16-oz mason jar). Add optional extra ingredients (as many or as few as you want). Pour liquid over radishes until they are covered (you may not need all of the liquid). Let cool to room temperature, then seal shut and transfer to the refrigerator. (Let pickle for at least 30 minutes before digging in.)

Notes
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 weeks.
- Serve these radishes on salads, sandwiches, and tacos!
- Non-iodized salt is important in pickling, as iodized salt can cause discoloration.
- Not tested for long-term canning storage. Be sure to follow the USDA canning practices if you're canning for long-term storage.
