Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh radishes
- 240 milliliters white wine vinegar
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 leaf dried bay leaf
- 2 cloves fresh garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 4 sprigs fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the radishes, cutting them into thin, even slices using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and slightly crush them with the side of a knife.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, honey, and sea salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the honey and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a clean, sterile glass jar, layer the radish slices, adding the whole black peppercorns, dried bay leaf, crushed garlic cloves, fennel seeds, and sprigs of fresh dill in between the layers.
Step 5
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the radishes in the jar, making sure all the radishes are completely submerged. If necessary, gently press the radishes down with a spoon to eliminate air pockets.
Step 6
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to cool completely.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the jar to the refrigerator. Allow the radishes to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming to develop the best flavor.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks for optimal freshness and taste.
