Spiced pickled radishes

Spiced pickled radishes

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Leave the radishes for at least 2 weeks before eating. Once open, store in the fridge and eat within 1 month.
