Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make these pickled radishes up to 3 days ahead of time.How to Store: Screw the lid on tight and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. In addition, you can pickle these and store them on the shelves following my Bread and Butter Pickles Recipe.Any color radish will work for this recipe.You can also use red wine vinegar, cider vinegar, or white vinegar in this recipe.Sliced radishes can be eaten within 1 hour of pickling while whole or quartered radishes should be kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours before eating.Radishes tend to produce a lot of sulfur so during the pickling process you may notice an egg-type smell, but I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the radishes and they have not gone rotten.
