Florida Produce

It is Farmers Market season here in Florida. The winter is high season for fresh from Florida produce.

I finally had a chance to go to one of my favorite farmer's markets last week.

I came across some beautiful fresh radishes and on a whim picked up a couple of bunches.

These radishes were so fresh they still had dirt on them and were likely picked fresh that morning.

How Long do Pickled Radishes Last in the Fridge?

How long do these refrigerator Sweet Pickled Radishes last in the refrigerator?

Pickled vegetables with last 3 to 6 months in the refrigerator.

For the best flavor eat the pickled radishes within 3 months.

After 3 months the pickled radishes are still safe to eat but will start to lose their crunchiness.

How To Clean Garden Radishes

If you have ever harvested garden radishes you know what a dirty mess they can be.

It is pretty easy to remove all the garden dirt from your fresh radishes if you follow a few easy steps.

Place the freshly harvested radishes in the sink and rinse them under cold water removing as much soil as possible.

If you are going to be eating the fresh radishes immediately trim off the stems and the root end. Discard or throw them in the compost heap.

Place the trimmed radishes in a large bowl. Fill the bowl with cool water and agitate with your hand. Pour off the dirty water.

Most of the dirt will have settled on the bottom of the bowl.

Refill the bowl with cool water and repeat. Repeat until the water is clear and there is no longer any dirt on the bottom of the bowl.

If you are not eating the radishes immediately rinse following the above steps except leave the stems and root end intact.

Leaving the stems and root end intact prevents fresh radishes from drying out. Trim the stems and root end right before serving.

Tips for How To Clean Garden Radishes

 

How To Make Sweet Pickled Radish

Ingredients

  • 3 bunches of radishes (about 1 ½ lbs. stem and root ends removed and sliced in ½ inch slices)
  • 1 ½ cups white or apple cider vinegar (5% acidity)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar
  • ¾ cups water
  • 3 teaspoons Salt for Pickling and Preserving
  • 3 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 3 bay leaf
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried crushed red pepper (see recipe notes)

Prepare Canning Jars

  1. Wash the canning jars and lids in hot soapy water and drain on a towel.

Prepare the radishes for pickling

  1. Wash the radishes well under cold running water. Trim the stem and root ends off with a sharp paring knife.
  2. Place the radishes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Agitate the water well.
  3. Pour the water out of the bowl and repeat two or three times until the water is clear and you no longer see any soil in the bottom of the bowl.

Slice the radishes

  1. Using a sharp paring knife, a mandolin or a food processor slice the radishes into ⅛ inch slices.
  2. Place the sliced radishes into a large bowl as you slice them. Rinse the radishes again if needed.
  3. Pack the sliced radishes into three wide mouth pint canning jars. Saving the leftover slices to top the jars off after filling with the brine.

Make the pickling brine

  1. Measure the vinegar, sugar, water, Pickling Salt, mustard seeds, ground black pepper, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes into a medium stainless steel saucepan.
  2. Bring the brine ingredients to a boil. Carefully transfer the hot brine to a spouted measuring cup. Pour the brine over the radishes in each jar. Saving any leftover brine to top off the jars.
  3. Using a wooden chopstick or a canning bubble remover remove the bubbles from each jar.
  4. Once the radish slices start to settle pack the reserved radish slices in to fill the jars. Top off with the remaining brine if needed.
  5. Wipe the jar rim with a damp paper towel. Center a flat lid on the jar and apply the band. Repeat with all jars.
  6. Allow jars to cool about an hour. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
  7. Keep refrigerated for up to three months.
  8. Makes three 16 oz mason jars.

Helpful Tips to make Sweet Pickled Radish recipe

  • I used my Hamilton Beach food processor and there were little bits of radishes in the bowl as I sliced them. Rinse the beets to remove the little bits so they don't end up floating around in the jars.
  • Spicy is an aquired taste. You can play around with the amount of red pepper flakes used in this recipe. If you don't want a hot spicy flavor decrease the amount of red pepper flakes used.

    We love quick pickles in my house. My hubby really likes to grow veggies in the garden and pickle them with his famous pickling season. However he has never pickled radishes! I didn't know it was the growing season in Florida right now. You are so lucky to get great fresh produce. We have to wait quite a few more months. I can't wait to try this!

    I love making easy pickles. I have never tried pickles radishes. Maybe I should. I really don't like radishes, so this just might turn that around.

    You are really getting me in the mood to start canning again. I miss it and those radishes are absolutely gorgeous. I think I know the Farmer's Market you're talking about -- I've been there. We do miss those fresh Florida veggies we'd be getting right now. Poor Hubby misses the warm weather, sunshine, and fishing. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for fresh radishes. I'd love them on a salad or sandwich.
