First Time Making Homemade Pickled Radishes

in #food6 years ago (edited)

From my first harvest of Radishes, I tried out pickling for the first time. I have had radishes in Soups and in Salads but this would be the first time that I would try a pickled radish other than pickled Daikon radish that is usually in Sushi. The following is how I attempted to grow and harvest my own pickle supply.

I pulled a small harvest of 10 Radishes from my little grow bag garden. I sowed these radishes 30th of March 2018 some of them were ready, but some still need a little more time in the soil to plump themselves up. It generally takes 20 to 70 days to mature so I my crop should be ready to pick by now. You will see the Radish Greens to the left side of the bag. In this Grow bag, I have packed in lots of plants that I started from seed. I will make a separate post on whats growing in my Grow bag for another time.

Here in this picture, I found some that were formed and pretty much ready to be picked. As you can see I sowed them quite close so they could be thinned out a little to encourage the smaller ones to grow.

I picked around 10 decent sized Radishes. There were a couple that were deceptively small but they were still ok to pick.

I then washed the soil off them and cut the tops and roots off. I then sliced them thinly and popped them into their jar. I then made a basic vinegar pickle brine.

Ingredients
2 Garlic Cloves (peeled and smashed)
1/4 Cup White Vinegar
1/4 Cup Homemade Apple cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup Water
1 T spoon of Sugar
I also added a couple of whole peppercorns to see how it would taste.

Method
Add all ingredients to a Saucepan, stir to dissolve and bring to a simmer for 5 mins. Cool to room temperature and pour over sliced Radishes in the jar.

That is how I made my first batch of pickled Radish! I think I will be adding these to burgers or sandwiches to add some tanginess and crunch. I tried my pickles this morning and they are full of tangy, zingy flavour!

I hope you give this a try, it was so easy to grow my own Radishes and this recipe took almost no time at all to make.

I've never had pickled radishes, and I love radishes. I am bookmarking this to try when my garden has matured enough so i can pick my radishes! Thanks for the recipe, and the post! :)

Wonderful! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like the recipe. I'd love to know how it works out for you.

I really want to start pickling my own stuff. I really would like to have some pickled eggs again, It's been sooo many years since I've had one. Thank you for putting this post together, it sure makes the process seem easier than it does in my head. :P

I found your post based on a submission to the Payitforward challenge made by @donna-metcalfe.

@donna-metcalfe featured you in the PayItForward Curation contest . That is what brought me to your post

I love radishes, I did not know they could be picklelized. I am very very glad that @donna-metcalfe picked you as one of her 3 to feature in the "Pay it Forward" contest. I think I may have to try this. How long will they stay somewhat firm and crunchy in the pickle juice?

What an awesome post! And who knew pickling radishes would be so easy :)

I see from the comments that you are well aware that @donna-metcalfe included your post in here entry for the Pay it Forward Curation Contest. You should think about joining us next week :)
