Sweet Pickled Radish Recipe
Quick pickling vegetables is a great way to preserve a garden harvest as summer fades away. While I love traditional dill pickles and bread & butter pickles, it was pickled cauliflower that really started my love affair of all pickled veggies.
Pickled vegetables are so delicious and a great way to enjoy preserved veggies from the garden. Jams and jellies are lovely for delicious home grown fruit (you can pickle them too, try my pickled plums), but with an abundance of freshly picked vegetables, pickling is my go to method for preserving.

Did you know that in France, radishes are often served with butter and dipped in salt? Give it a try, I dare you. They’re soooo good.
A bit healthier than dipping a vegetable in butter: pickling it. Pickled radishes are great with salads, cheese, tacos, rice bowls… the list goes on. There are countless ways to enjoy pickled radishes. Radishes have so much flavor to begin with, that once they’re pickled, they really are out of this world good!
