Description
Refrigerator Pickled Radishes are a quick and zesty addition to any meal, bringing a vibrant crunch and tangy flavor that awakens your taste buds in just minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch radishes (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- chili flakes or black peppercorns for added heat (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Radishes: Wash radishes thoroughly under cold running water. Trim the ends and slice them thinly, about the width of a dime.
- Make the Brine: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine white vinegar and water. Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved.
- Jar It Up: Pack the sliced radishes into a clean glass jar. If desired, add any optional spices like chili flakes or peppercorns between layers.
- Pour Over Brine: Carefully pour the hot brine over the radishes until fully submerged.
- Cool Down: Let the jar sit at room temperature until cool enough to handle. Seal with a lid and refrigerate.
- Wait Patiently: Allow pickled radishes to marinate in the fridge for at least one hour before enjoying; they taste best after sitting overnight.

Keywords: Customize your brine by experimenting with different vinegars such as apple cider or rice vinegar. For added variety, mix in other vegetables like carrots or cucumbers. Ensure even pickling by slicing radishes uniformly.
