Description
Zesty Radish Relish transforms fresh radishes into a tangy, crunchy condiment perfect for hot dogs, burgers, and sandwiches. Ready in twenty minutes with simple pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
3 cups sliced radishes (about 1.5 lbs)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons seeded pickled jalapeños
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal recommended)
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
1. Wash radishes really well and trim off stems and root ends. Slice them thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Toss radishes, quartered onion, and seeded jalapeños into your food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
3. Transfer chopped vegetables to a large stockpot. Add vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and dill. Stir everything together.
4. Bring the whole mixture to a boil over medium heat, then let it bubble away for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Pull the pot off the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to an airtight jar.
6. Once at room temperature, seal it up tight and stick it in the fridge. Wait at least 24 hours before eating for best flavor.
Notes
Slice radishes uniformly thin or they won’t absorb the pickling liquid properly.
Let the vinegar mixture cool slightly before jarring to keep vegetables crisp.
Use fresh spices for the best flavor – old spices make this taste flat.
Daikon radish or turnips work as substitutes for regular radishes.
This keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks in an airtight jar.
