Peppery radishes are beautiful when pickled, turning bright pink and retaining their satisfying crunch. You can eat them on the side of just about anything that benefits from a hit of acidity. They’re also great as a snack with crackers and cheese or scattered into salads.

Method

Trim the stem and root from the radishes then cut into quarters or halves so they’re all a similar size. Pack them tightly into a sterilised jar.
Put the peppercorns and seeds in a dry frying pan and toast for a few minutes over a medium heat. Pour in the vinegar, sugar and salt and stir to dissolve. Bring to a simmer then pour over the radishes. Seal the jar with a vinegar-proof lid and leave to cool.
Leave the radishes for at least 2 weeks before eating. Once open, store in the fridge and eat within 1 month.
