Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Radishes
- 180 milliliters Apple cider vinegar
- 180 milliliters Water
- 30 grams Honey
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 10 grams Fresh dill
- 5 grams Mustard seeds
- 5 grams Black peppercorns
- 5 grams Salt
Instructions
Begin by washing the radishes thoroughly and removing any leafy tops. Slice them into thin rounds, approximately 3mm thick, using a sharp knife or a mandolin for uniform slices.
Peel and gently crush the garlic cloves without fully smashing them. This will help release their flavor during the pickling process.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and honey. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the honey has fully dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
Add the salt, mustard seeds, and black peppercorns to the saucepan, and continue stirring for an additional 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and begin to let it cool slightly while you prepare the jar.
In a clean, heat-proof jar, place the sliced radishes, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh dill sprigs.
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the radishes in the jar, ensuring that all radish slices are submerged under the liquid.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and give it a gentle shake to disperse the spices evenly.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. The radishes will be ready to enjoy after at least 24 hours of refrigeration, although they taste even better after a few days as the flavors develop.
Serve your heart-healthy pickled radishes as a snack, or add them to salads and dishes for a tangy crunch.
