How to pickle radishes
- Prepare the radishes: Wash radishes well and remove leaves and stems. Slice the radishes thinly with a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer and place in a sterilized jar.
- Make the pickling liquid: Heat vinegar, spices, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves then pour the vinegar mixture over the sliced radishes.
- Seal and store: Seal the jar and allow to cool. Allow the radishes to pickle in the brine for at least 2-3 days but up to 4 months in the fridge.
How long do pickled radishes last?
Pickled radishes will last for approximately 4 months, unopened, in the fridge. Once opened, use within 1-2 weeks and keep refrigerated.
Serving Suggestions

I’m from the UK, these are great. We grow purple Spain radish for stir fry and used them. We spiralized them to. They are amazing. Definitely will be doing them again as jar nearly finished in 1st sitting!

I updated the recipe card, my apologies, The previous data was for the entire jar of pickles and I had to add servings for it to auto-populate the correct information.
