Pickled Radish Pods
"Please note that the ingredients below says 'radishes', because the Zaar computer program doesn't believe me that I mean radish pods ;-) But I do - this is what you can do with those radishes which have run to seed.
This recipe is a response from Zeldaz to a plea for a recipe for pickled radish pods I placed on the preserving forum. Thanks again, Zeldaz! You're a star.
Knowing that I'm a newbie to pickling, she advised "As the recipe I found does not call for processing in a boiling water bath, I recommend these be stored only in the fridge.""
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 pint
ingredients
- 10 fluid ounces radishes, pods
- 2 ounces salt
- 2 dried chilies
- 10 fluid ounces white wine vinegar
directions
- Pick the pods on a dry day, sort through them and discard any that are blemished or hard.
- Make up a brine with salt and 1 pint water and plunge the pods into it while still hot. If they look bright green they are ready for pickling. If not, strain them off, re-boil the brine and repeat the process.
- Strain off the brine and wash the pods under cold water to get rid of excess salt.
- Drain well and pack into clean, sterilised jars with the dried chillis.
- Heat up the vinegar and boil for 5 mins, then cool.
- Pour over the pods, seal and store for a couple of months.

I love to cook, and I love to eat! As a result I prefer to cook and eat healthy, low cal food on the whole, but only if it tastes good :-) I'm British, lived in Germany for 12 years, but have now moved back to the UK.
We try to grow and make as much of our food as we can.
